John Terry Told He Will Not Get New Contract

John Terry has been told by Chelsea that he will not get a new contract from the club, according to a report. 

The Times claim that the club captain has been informed in talks with senior executives that this will be his last season as a player. 

However, Stamford Bridge chiefs are keen to agree a new role with Terry that reflects his stature at the club and makes use of his skills, with discussions centred around coaching and ambassadorial roles. 

Chelsea have moved to act quickly and avoid a repeat of the embarrassing situation last season in which Terry went public with his frustration at not being offered a new deal before the club made a hasty U-turn and offered him a one-year extension on reduced terms.
