John Terry versus Chelsea? It still could happen.
The 37-year-old center back confirmed Monday that he’d be happy to play Premier League football with Aston Villa should they emerge from the Championship playoffs with promotion.

If Villa doesn’t go up, The Birmingham Mail believes he’ll begin his coaching career.
“Initially it was a big decision for me to leave Chelsea and come to Villa but I have settled in very well and been welcomed. … It is in my contract (to stay) if we go up, and fingers crossed and touch wood we do, then I will be staying another year.”
Terry made more than 700 appearances for Chelsea before signing with Villa before the season. He’s been just fine with Villa, not a star but not a problem, as the club finished fourth in the second tier and he played more than 2800 minutes across 32 matches.
