# Celtic: John Terry could be open to Hoops job

**Former Aston Villa assistant John Terry could be open to taking over at Celtic, should Ange Postecoglou leave Parkhead, [Birmingham Live](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/john-terry-next-club-newcastle-21754286) report.**

### The Lowdown: Ange under pressure?

The Hoops sit [sixth](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/scottish-premiership/table) in the Sottish Premiership after eight fixtures, with rumours over Postecoglou’s future at Celtic being raised recently.

Reports in [Italy](https://www.lebombedivlad.it/2021/10/03/celtic-shevchenko-in-pole-per-la-panchina/) over the weekend suggested that his position is in the balance, with Andriy Shevchenko tipped to be in pole position to replace Postecoglou.

And another former well-known has been name-checked with becoming Celtic manager in the future.

### The Latest: Terry keen?

[Birmingham Live](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/john-terry-next-club-newcastle-21754286) shared a report on Terry on Monday, looking at where his first position in management could be after [leaving](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/jul/26/john-terry-leaves-aston-villa-to-focus-on-becoming-a-manager) Villa Park over the summer.

They named a number of clubs he could pick up, one of which was Celtic. They claimed that Parkhead is one of two jobs in Scotland that would appeal to Terry, believing Postecoglou is already feeling the heat.

### The Verdict: Keep the faith…

Terry has a [UEFA Pro License](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/john-terry/profil/trainer/64063) and won [17](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/john-terry/erfolge/spieler/3160) honours as a player, however, he has [no senior experience](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/john-terry/profil/trainer/64063) as a club manager, just like [Shevchenko](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andriy-shevchenko/profil/trainer/45350).

On that basis, it could be a big risk by the Hoops hierarchy to part ways with Postecoglou and pick up an inexperienced boss.

Hopefully, Postecoglou will be given plenty of time to prove his worth in Glasgow, but if he isn’t, it appears as if Terry, a [reported](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/2451342/john-terry-paul-terry-rangers-celtic/) Celtic fan, could be keen on taking over.
