JOHN TERRY has revealed he was rejected by Newcastle and two League One clubs after leaving Aston Villa.<\/p>\n
The Chelsea legend, 42, arrived at Villa Park as Dean Smith's assistant in 2018 and spent three years with the side.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He then returned to the game as Smith's right-hand man at Leicester towards the end of last season.<\/p>\n
And he has since gone back to Stamford Bridge as an academy coach.<\/p>\n
But he has now revealed that he failed to secure a number of managerial vacancies after leaving Villa two years ago.<\/p>\n
They included two roles in the third tier and one at Newcastle – which was eventually given to Eddie Howe.<\/p>\n
Speaking on Jon Obi Mikel's\u00a0Obi One\u00a0podcast, he said: "When I left Villa, I applied for two or three jobs; I interviewed for Newcastle and I interviewed for a couple before that I didn't get.<\/p>\n "It was a really good process for me because you sit in those meetings and you go 'actually, I'm way off this, I'm glad I didn't get it' and you learn how to present in those meetings.<\/p>\n "Initially I didn't go to League One because I didn't know a lot about it, I'd never played there.<\/p>\n "That's why I ended up in the Championship because I'd played a season there, I'd coached a couple of years and I fully understood the schedule.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS<\/strong><\/p>\n "I applied for two jobs in League One and didn't get either of them.<\/p>\n "Interestingly enough, the owners for the teams I applied for told me they wanted to play like Man City. It was interesting, but nobody can play like Man City – Chelsea can't play like Man City!"<\/p>\n Terry also opened up about the potential of becoming Chelsea head coach one day – much like his old team-mate Frank Lampard.<\/p>\n However, the Blues defender has admitted he does not believe it will ever happen.<\/p>\n He added: "Now I've realised it's not going to happen. My one dream I had when I left Chelsea is that I was going to come back as manager, but now I know it won't happen.<\/p>\n "It hurts me and it'll constantly be niggling away at the back of my mind."<\/p>\n<\/picture>FATHER FIGURE <\/span><\/p>\n
