# John Terry enjoying holiday in Portugal but might struggle to return to UK

The 2020/21 season has come to an end for Aston Villa and assistant manager John Terry is enjoying his summer holidays with family. The 40-year-old coach has gone to Portugal and posted a picture on his [Instagram stories](https://www.instagram.com/stories/johnterry.26/2591372267382146468/?hl=en), enjoying the sun while having a healthy bowl of cereal.

Terry has his feet up in the blistering sun with a pool next to him, so he must be having a great time abroad. Coming home might be tricky, however, as [Portugal are now on the amber list](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-57393931) for travel, meaning holidaymakers have to take multiple tests and quarantine for nearly two weeks.

Terry is having a well-deserved break after playing a large role in Villa’s successful second season back in the [Premier League](https://www.whoscored.com/Regions/252/Tournaments/2/England-Premier-League). The Midlands outfit finished 11th in the table with 55 points from 38 games, conceding 46 goals and keeping an impressive [15 clean sheets](https://www.soccerstats.com/table.asp?league=england&tid=f).

And although the 40-year-old has been [linked](https://www.thesackrace.com/news/5th-february-2021/six-options-for-prospective-manager-john-terry) with a number of managerial vacancies during his time at Villa, it does seem he’s content to stay for the time being. Dean Smith previously gave his [endorsement](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11677/12216090/john-terry-dean-smith-says-no-clubs-have-approached-aston-villa-assistant-over-managerial-vacancies) for Terry to pursue his own coaching opportunities, but he’s expected to return to Bodymoor Heath after his summer holiday as things stand.
