Drogba To Manage Chelsea

FORMER Chelsea striker Didier Drogba says he has an agreement to
return to the club once he finishes playing and wants it to be as
manager.
Drogba, who now plays in Canada, scored 164 goals in two spells with the Blues.

"I want to give back to the club which has given so much to me. I have
agreed that with the club directors," the 37-year-old told BBC Africa.

"Why not manager? Why not sporting director, trainer at the academy or
maybe an advising role for strikers?"
Drogba scored the penalty that won the Champions League for Chelsea in
2012 and won his fourth Premier League title on returning to the club
last season before he joined Montreal Impact in Major League Soccer.

However, the champions have struggled this season, losing seven of
their opening 12 league matches, and are 15th in the Premier League.

Drogba admitted Chelsea had been going through a "difficult moment"
this season, but that back-to-back victories over Norwich and Maccabi
Tel Aviv indicated this was now being reversed.

"They have quality when it comes to the players, and quality when it
comes to the management," said Drogba.

"This is a club which usually doesn't have a bad season twice.
"Drogba has given his support to manager Jose Mourinho. "If the club
has kept him that means owner, Roman Abramovich thinks that he is the
right man," he said.
