John Terry is reportedly very close to joining Saudi Pro League side Al-Shabab as manager.
The 42-year-old is currently working as a consultant in the Chelsea academy but the club will not stop him from moving to Saudi Arabia.
The Sun report Al-Shabab have reached a verbal agreement with the former England international and he is poised to sign a contract of at least two years.
Terry has previously worked as an assistant head coach at Aston Villa when Dean Smith was their manager.
His three years at the Midlands club saw them securing promotion and consolidating their position in the Premier League.
The 42-year-old reunited with Smith at Leicester City in April as they attempted to save the Foxes from relegation. But the two failed as the club went down to the Championship.
The former England international returned to the Blues as a consultant in July, but he is now on the move again.
Terry is widely regarded as the greatest Chelsea player of all time.
During his 19 years at Stamford Bridge, he lifted an incredible five Premier League titles, a Champions League trophy and five FA Cups.
The former defender made over 700 appearances in all competitions for the West Londoners, with 67 goals to his name. He was greatly praised for his leadership, consistency and quality of defending.
