John Terry has said his Chelsea farewells but vowed to be back at Wembley one day as a manager.

Captain Terry was an unused substitute in his Blues’ FA Cup final loss to Arsenal as the curtain came down on his roller-coaster, but trophy-laden 22-year Stamford Bridge career.

Saturday's final was one of the ­defender’s final acts for the club, ahead of their Player of the Year dinner the following evening.

And Terry was bracing himself for another ­emotional occasion after he finished clearing out his locker at the club’s ­Cobham training ground last week.

Terry is weighing up his next move.

Eventually he wants to move into ­management and plans to keep working towards his coaching badges even if he extends his playing career.

He added: “I do want to be a manager. I think I’ve got too much to give and I’ve learned too much not to pass that on, whether that’s initially to a younger generation or eventually at this level.

“It’s the last time ­probably at Wembley for me as a player. Hopefully one day I’ll be back here as a manager. That’s kind of the ambition — being here, managing a top side.”
