Former Chelsea captain, John Terry, has insisted that he and other coaches at the club will support Calum McFarlane after Liam Rosenior’s sacking.

Recall that Chelsea named McFarlane on Wednesday to be in charge of the club’s first team until the end of the season on Wednesday, starting with the FA Cup semi-final against Leeds on Sunday.

This follows the sacking of Rosenior after just 106 days in charge of the first team.

Reacting to Rosenior’s dismissal and McFarlane’s interim role, Terry also confirmed on TikTok that he has not received a call to form part of McFarlane’s backroom coaching staff.

“I am not sure what Calum’s backroom staff is going to look like. I have not had a call, I have not had a message,” Terry said.

“I will be continuing my role in the academy. I will be in the academy tomorrow, a big couple of games coming up.

“We will all get behind Calum; he did a great job away against Man City previously, and we will get behind the boys because that is what we do.”
