The Blues captain made this announcement after starting a 5-1 FA Cup win at MK Dons on Sunday and said he plans to continue playing, although not in England. The 35years old sought clarification on his future before last week's win at Arsenal and has now accepted there will be no fairytale ending to his career despite a suggestion from Chelsea that things might change when a permanent successor to Jose Mourinho is appointed.
Terry said “I was in last week before the Arsenal game and it's 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 it took me a couple of days to get over. But 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. I couldn't play for another Premier League club, so it will be elsewhere for sure”.
Terry, who has been on Chelsea's books since he was 14, made his debut as a 17-year-old in 1998 and has gone on to win 14 major trophies at Stamford Bridge. He was made skipper under Jose Mourinho in 2004 and led the club to just a second English title the same season, going on to lift the trophy three further times. His haul of honours also includes five FA Cups, three League Cups, a Europa League and a Champions League, although he famously missed the 2012 final through suspension.
