It’s rumored that Didier Drogba, the legendary striker who played a pivotal role in Eden Hazard’s arrival at Chelsea, could make a surprising return to Stamford Bridge next season. However, it won’t be as a player, but rather as a member of the technical staff. According to reports from the Daily Mirror, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is keen on bringing Drogba back to the club to work with the academy.
Drogba, who is currently under contract with Turkish club Galatasaray until the end of the season, has left a lasting legacy at Chelsea during his time there from 2004 to 2012. The opportunity to join Chelsea’s development project, especially under the management of his former boss José Mourinho, could be appealing to him.
However, it remains to be seen whether Drogba will accept this new challenge, as he doesn’t seem ready to retire from football just yet. For now, he is focused on facing Chelsea in the upcoming UEFA Champions League round of 16 fixture.
