EX-football star John Terry is to launch a podcast — and is eyeing Jose Mourinho as his first guest.

The Chelsea ace, 44, plans to invite his former manager to help kick off his new football-based discussion show.

A source said: “John is excited and has told friends there can only be one person as the first guest — and that is Jose Mourinho.”

It could see him go head to head in the charts with his former England pal Rio Ferdinand, who also has a weekly podcast.

The defenders fell out after Terry was accused of racially abusing Rio’s brother Anton in 2011.

Terry, who was acquitted in court, also slept with teammate Wayne Bridge’s girlfriend.

Our source said: “John has seen a lot of players do their own podcasts and thinks he will have a lot of appeal.

"He’s a controversial character for some of his decisions on and off the pitch but isn’t afraid of tackling tough subjects.

"It’s likely his show will have a strong Chelsea focus but he’ll go into other areas.”

Terry won a string of domestic and European titles at Chelsea, plus 78 England caps.
