John Terry won’t retire at Chelsea, says ‘no fairy tale ending for me’

As he edges closer to 700 appearances for Chelsea FC, team skipper- John Terry has announced that there would be no elaborate ending for him at the English football club.

John Terry, who has spent his entire career at Chelsea, will retire at the end of the current season.

The Central-Defender says it took him two days to get over the fact that he wouldn’t get to retire in Chelsea, after four Premier League titles, five FA Cups, three FA Cups, the 2012 Champions League and the 2013 Europa League.

Terry, whose current contract runs out in the summer, was quoted to have made the disclosure to the Press Association on Sunday.

“To be honest, I was in last week before the Arsenal game and it’s [the contract] not going to be extended. It’s my last run in the FA Cup so I want to make it a good one. It’s a big season for me and I want to push on – not just in this competition but in the Premier League as well. I knew before the Arsenal game so mentally I’ve kind of accepted it. We just have to move on.”

“They said that when the new manager comes in, things might change. It’s a no at the minute. I needed to know now like I have done every January and sometimes it takes a couple of months to get done. Unfortunately it was a no. It’s not going to be a fairytale ending, I’m not going to retire at Chelsea.

“It’s going to be elsewhere which took me a couple of days to get over. But like I say, I knew before the Arsenal game and my performance isn’t going to change – the way I train, what I give for the club. I want to give everything and finish on a high, on 100 per cent good terms with the club.”
