# Aston Villa: Fans react to John Terry exit link

**Many Aston Villa fans are reacting to the news that John Terry is being linked with a vacant managerial role in the Championship.**

According to Daily Mail journalists [@AdrianJKajumba,](https://twitter.com/AdrianJKajumba) [@SamiMokbel81\_DM](https://twitter.com/SamiMokbel81_DM) and[@TomCollomosse,](https://twitter.com/TomCollomosse) via [@villareport](https://twitter.com/villareport/status/1357099159992557570?s=20), John Terry is among those being considered to take over as Bournemouth manager.

The Villa man is supposedly being eyed following the [sacking of Jason Tindall](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55916384) – he has been linked to Championship roles in the past, [most recently](https://readastonvilla.com/2020/11/10/john-terry-linked-with-derby-manager-job/) at relegation-battling Derby County.

At Aston Villa, he is gaining a lot of crucial experience – surviving [last season](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aston-villa/startseite/verein/405) and the hopeful progression into a [mid-table](https://www.sofascore.com/tournament/football/england/premier-league/17) side maybe even with Europa League ambitions this term are valuable experiences for a young coach.

To take charge of a club at the [battling near the top of the Championship table](https://www.sofascore.com/tournament/football/england/championship/18) would be a huge risk for any manager as there is a lot of pressure to suceed, and even more so for the inexperienced Terry. Therefore, it would perhaps be a safer bet for him to stay on alongside Dean Smith at Villa Park.
