Frank Lampard states why John Terry did not make Chelsea return as part of coaching staff

Frank Lampard has admitted that discussions never took place to bring John Terry back to Chelsea as part of his coaching staff this season. Terry will return to Stamford Bridge today as an assistant manager of Aston Villa. “It was never an option that was spoken about,” Lampard said. “I think John was very settled at Aston Villa. “When I took the Derby job he was already on his own path then and they obviously got promoted in the summer. John was very comfortable there and working away. I had my team that I worked with here. I think we had a good relationship as captain and vice-captain. The minute I stepped into this club John was clearly the next captain in waiting. “He was almost it already. When Marcel Desailly left he stepped up. I had no problem with that. It allowed me to go about my work and to play the role of vice-captain and to captain the club on quite a few occasions and to some good success at different times. "Our relationship was always good. There were no layers to it. We were good friends and respected each other as professionals and colleagues. That just remains the same.” Source - Football.london
