Chelsea legend Didier Drogba has revealed that he will return to the club in a coaching role in the future.

The striker, who helped Chelsea to clinch the Premier League last season, joined MLS outfit Montreal Impact in the summer to extend his playing career.




Drogba has thus far enjoyed two successful spells at Chelsea, for whom he has scored a total of 164 goals.

And the 37-year-old insisted that he already has an agreement to return to the club once he finishes his playing career.
 


"I want to give back to the club which has given so much to me. I have agreed that with the club directors", he told the BBC.

"Why not manager? Why not sporting director, trainer at the academy or maybe an advising role for strikers?"

Drogba was signed by Jose Mourinho from Marseille in his first spell at Stamford Bridge in 2004.

The forward helped the Blues to win three Premier League titles, one Champions League, four FA Cups and two League Cups before leaving for Chinese outfit Shanghai Shenhua in 2012.

Drogba once again returned to Chelsea last season, and guided the club to a League Cup along with winning the Premier League title.
