John Terry forlader Aston Villa efter en enkelt sæson

Efter mange succesfulde år i Chelsea valgte John Terry for et års tid siden at skrive under på en 1-årig aftale med Aston Villa. Den aftale er nu udløbet, og Aston Villa bekræfter på deres hjemmeside, at Chelsea-legenden ikke fortsætter i klubben. 

Terry var ellers fast mand og anfører i den netop overstået sæson, men parterne har nu valgt at skilles efter kun en enkelt år. 

Med den tidligere engelske landsholdsspiller i forsvaret var Aston Villa tæt på at sikre sig oprykning til Premier League, men de tabte til Fulham i playoff-finalen. 

Det vides endnu ikke, om Terry fortsætter karrieren andetsteds eller lægger støvlerne på hylden. 

 

Today I part ways with Aston Villa Football Club. I’m very proud to have had the opportunity to play and captain this great and huge club. I have given my everything this year both on and off the pitch and I’m still hurting today that we never managed to get back to the Premier League, where this club 100% belongs. I would like to thank Steve Bruce who was instrumental in me joining Villa, I have learnt so much from him as a manger this season that will stay with me forever.Also, I’d like to thank all the staff and players and our owner Dr Tony, who it was a real pleasure and honour to work with everyday. Finally, a special thank you to the Villa supporters who have supported us both home and away in their thousands, up and down the country and have been amazing to me on a personal level. Villa will always have a place in my heart and I will look back on my time here and think about how close we were to reaching our goal. But now going forward, I would like to wish the management, staff, players and supporters good luck for the future. @avfcofficial
