John Terry
January 2026
Richard Keys has urged Chelsea to appoint John Terry as their next manager following Enzo Maresca’s dismissal. Terry has not managed a senior club, but Keys argues his connection to the club and standing with supporters makes him a fit. The argument is built on Chelsea seeking a reset after a sharp league drop-off despite still competing in multiple cups. Keys framed the suggestion as reflecting fan sentiment, even though Terry’s recent work has been outside first-team management.
