Terry calls for Blues unity
John Terry has given his backing to new manager Carlo Ancelotti and urged everyone at Chelsea to help take the club 'in the right direction'.
Terry has played under several different coaches at Stamford Bridge, with Luiz Felipe Scolari coming in at the start of last season before being sacked and replaced by interim boss Guus Hiddink.
It is hoped there will now be a period of stability following the appointment of Ancelotti, who will be presented to the media on Monday morning.
The Blues have made it clear that Terry remains integral to their ongoing ambitions, rejecting out of hand another approach from cash-rich Manchester City for the England captain.
The central defender is looking forward to the start of the new season and hopes his team-mates rally around Ancelotti.
"Next season we need to make sure we start a lot better than we did last year and really push for the Premier League because I would love to win that trophy again, as well as being back in the mix for the Champions League," said Terry.
"It is important we realise Ancelotti is going to be here for a good few years, he is going to bring in his own players, staff and training methods.
"We need to adapt to that and move Chelsea in the right direction."
Ancelotti is Chelsea's fifth manager in the space of two years but Terry has been impressed by how the squad has dealt with regular upheaval.
"The players have coped with it very well [having so many managers]," he explained.
"It is important that we get a bit of stability under Ancelotti for two or three years.
"We must get a settled team and a settled manager and really build and move things in the right direction."
