Drogba came back to London as a replacement for Torres who was sent to Milan. Rumors had it that he was promised a spot in the management team as part of a more complex contract meant to keep the Ivorian involved with the Stamford Bridge side. The 36 year old accepted this chance even though financially he had more appealing proposals. Fortunately for him, Mourinho kept his word and is now publicly speaking about the player’s future in the club. According to SkySports, Chelsea will probably involve Drogba in the scouting process with many saying that he will focus on non-European areas.

Mourinho was impressed with Drogba but was also content with the fact that he was right to sign the former Chelsea man. It was a very smart move from the Portuguese manager who got a great striker for little money while still managing to please the fans and keep the scoring rate high.

Recent statistics found that Drogba made Chelsea history in his last year at Stamford Bridge back in 2012. He got the fans cheering after a late equalizer against Bayern and a winning penalty in extra time. Since then he has become the most popular striker ever to perform for the Blues. With a scoring rate of almost one goal every two matches, Drogba will surely be welcomed by the Blues as part of the staff. It remains to be seen when this will happen considering the fact that the Ivorian seems fit to play one more year aside from this.
