John Terry's future at Aston Villa beyond the current season has yet to be discussed, Sky sources understand.
National newspapers reported on Wednesday Terry will retire from playing whether or not Villa are promoted back to the Premier League at the end of the campaign.
Last summer Terry said he turned down top-flight offers to join Sky Bet Championship side Villa because facing former club Chelsea was "too much to get over".
He signed for Villa on a one-year deal but has been undergoing his coaching badges in that time.
The 37-year-old has previously admitted his long-term ambition was to return to Chelsea as manager.
"That would be incredible but I realise as well you can't go in somewhere like Chelsea as your first job," Terry said last August.
"You need to go and learn, whether that's in the academy like Stevie [Gerrard] is doing."
Promotion-chasing Aston Villa are currently fourth in the Championship heading into Saturday's game against Hull, live on Sky Sports Football.
