John Terry told the official website of Aston Villa, that he appreciates the support given to him by the club for the past three years. He also thanked the head coach of the club Dean Smith, who taught him a lot about coaching tactics. He also extended his gratitude to the owner of the club and the co-owners.
It has been a tremendous honour and privilege to have spent three years at Aston Villa, but i feel now is the right time to make the tough decision to move on.
I want to be as respectful to the manager and everyone at Aston Villa as i can and having given my future serious consideration over the summer, i genuinely don't feel it is fair to move into a new season without being certain of seeing that through.
Finally, i would also like to thank all the players and staff and wish them all the very best for the season ahead.
