- Jose backing Terry choice
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has welcomed the appointment of John Terry as England captain.
Mourinho has been impressed by Terry's captaincy during Chelsea's back-to-back Premiership title wins and believes new England head coach Steve McClaren has made the right choice.
"I was always waiting with confidence for Steve McClaren's decision because I knew Steve was inside and from the inside he could not think twice but to choose JT as England captain," said the Portuguese.
"JT deserves it. England deserves a captain like him. He loves to work, loves to win, loves to make people happy and confident.
"He is a captain. I am really happy and on this occasion I also want to wish Steve success in the England job and tell him that at Chelsea we are here to help him."
