Jose Mourinho has revealed John Terry will definitely be staying at Chelsea for another season.
The 34-year-old central defender is out of contract in the summer and revealed last month he has yet to hold talks over an extension.
That had led to speculation he might not get a new deal and his lifelong association with the club would come to an end.
But Mourinho insists the former England man is going nowhere any time soon after seeing him play a key role in Chelsea's League Cup final victory over Tottenham.
The Blues boss said on Tuesday: "I have no doubts he will be at Chelsea next season, from talking to my board and talking to the player. I know what they want."
Chelsea policy dictates that players over the age of 30 are offered only 12-month deals.
Terry signed his current deal 48 hours after the end of last season - Mourinho's first back at Stamford Bridge - but his next offer could come before the end of the current campaign.
"It will be before the end of the season, for sure," Mourinho added.
