Former Chelsea skipper, John Terry, has admitted it would be difficult for him to become first-team manager at the Premier League club.
Terry has returned to Stamford Bridge, but is in charge of the academy.
Before taking the role at his former team, he worked as assistant manager to Dean Smith at Aston Villa.
In an interview with talkSPORT, Terry said he still dreams of managing the club, but feels that may never come to fruition.
“I love coaching and after three years, I was ready to be a manager, so I came away and reset with the family,” he said.
“Then I had a couple of interviews and it was quite disappointing. In every interview I came away from they said ‘you have no experience as a number one’.
“I still have a dream, I’d love to go in at Chelsea one day.
“Does that happen without me doing the other levels? No, it probably doesn’t. So, realistically, it’s not going to happen for me.
“I’m comfortable with that, I’m happy, I’ve done all my badges, I’m ready. So if anything does ever come up and it’s the right opportunity, I’ll go in.”
