30-year-old Terry believes that his team would be more than happy to see either Hiddink or Hughes as their new coach.
“Mark Hughes is someone that hopefully the club will be talking to. If it’s him he will be welcomed by the players. There is a lot of speculation out there at the moment. We had a great time under Guus, he would be welcomed back. Whether we are going to
get someone who know the club or someone different, that out of the players hands.” Terry said while talking to the media.
Speaking on Carlo Ancelotti’s departure, Terry said it was sad for him and his teammates to watch the Italian leave. Ancelotti’s exit was on the cards after he failed to repeat the feats from the previous season. The former AC Milan manager guided the Blues
to a domestic double of FA Cup and Barclays English Premier League in the 2009/10 season.
“I was very sad to see Carlo go, and as a group of players we will wait for the club to make a decision. As a group of player we are just waiting until the club makes their decision.” Terry exclaimed.
