- Guus Hiddink is convinced Chelsea captain John Terry has all the makings of a future manager at Stamford Bridge.
Ahead of the Blues' Premier League clash with bottom club Aston Villa on Saturday, interim boss Hiddink says Terry has the leadership skills and tactical knowhow to take charge one day.
"In some players, not just here but in other clubs as well, you see while they are playing that they might be managers inside already," said Hiddink.
"Most of the time in the midfield positions or at centre-back these guys are already leaders in the team. I like it always as a manager, players who you can make your plan with to execute things on the pitch
"In my own younger career, I also had other examples of that - players who are now good managers. I had in my first spell with PSV Eindhoven, Ronald Koeman. You could see he was already a very tactically strong leader, of course.
"Quique Sanchez Flores, I had in Valencia. These players think how a team can play and they have their ideas as well."
While the Dutchman believes Terry has what it takes to follow in their footsteps, he insists the 35-year old defender should gain experience as part of another manager's backroom staff first
