Picture this: Footballers destined for careers in the dugout

John Terry is being touted for a coaching role in Gareth Southgate’s new-look England setup.

The Chelsea captain, who this week celebrated his 36th birthday, is in the twilight of his career at Stamford Bridge.

He has struggled with injury problems this season and is in danger of being left behind as Antonio Conte persists with a 3-4-2-1 formation.

A move into the dugout could enable Terry to remain at the very top level even if his aging limbs mean he is no longer physically ready for another long campaign.

Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard are being linked with similar roles with the Three Lions after hanging up their boots following stints in the MLS.

But which other football stars look destined for a career in management. Yahoo Sport takes a look at the most likely candidates.
