Richard Keys Calls for John Terry as Chelsea Manager After Maresca Sacking
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.
