John Terry has hailed the decision to replace him as Chelsea captain with Gary Cahill.
Terry left Stamford Bridge this summer, as he completed a free transfer to Aston Villa.
“Unbelievable player @garyjcahill and no better man to lead our club @chelseafc to more success just like you did last season,” he wrote on his Instagram page.
Cahill has revealed Terry will be one of the first people he calls, as he settles into his role as club captain.
“When I was growing up I would always watch the more experienced players to see what they were doing and why they were doing it.
“There is no better example of that than John and I was lucky to play under his captaincy for a number of years.
“If I get in any sticky situations I’m sure he is one of the first people I will be on the phone to, but I doubt he’ll mind that.
“It’s definitely a proud moment in my career. I’ve had some good moments up until now and this certainly ranks very highly. To be captain of such a huge club like Chelsea is a great personal achievement,” he said.
