Another praised Chelsea for the move as they said: ‘Chelsea made a wise decision in bringing Terry back.
‘His dedication and passion for the club will surely have a positive impact on the Academy.’
With Frank Lampard departing at the end of last season, Chelsea have lost a legend amongst their staff.
However, Terry’s return means that they have gained one back, as a Chelsea fan wrote: ‘John Terry is Chelsea’.
However, not everyone took the news well as rival fans got involved in the reaction.
Twitter user Gray joked that the former captain has been brought in as a back-up plan for new boss Mauricio Pochettino.
‘John Terry to replace Poch before matchday 25, to help take Chelsea out of 17th position on the table,’ they wrote. ‘That’s the script!!’
