The Blues failed to win a trophy for the first time in four years last term having replaced Jose Mourinho with Avram Grant in September. But Terry is sure that will prove to be just a blip what with the impact Scolari is already making on the squad.

The skipper said: "He has the respect of all of us and I am delighted to have a man like him in charge, so far he has been excellent. We showed great character with a lot of the disappointments we had last season. We changed our manager and it showed what a great team we are. Now we have a manager that can lead the team as well, it's fantastic.

"He is a great football man and his experience speaks for itself - he has won things with top teams all over the world. He has done some great things in training with his methods and it's paid off in the first two games of pre-season."
