Didier Drogba has ended his short stint with MLS club, Montreal Impact, after only six months and is set to join Guus Hiddink’s backroom staff at Chelsea, according to L’Equipe.
The Ivorian only left Stamford Bridge for the second time last summer, after helping the Blues win the Premier League title.
He was spotted in a private box with Hiddink and Russian owner, Roman Abramovich, during Chelsea’s game against Sunderland, after Jose Mourinho was sacked.
Hiddink admitted afterwards that he was keen to work with the striker, who scored 164 goals in 381 appearances, but added: “It depends on the player himself, you need to give them time and opportunities to find out what the best is for them.
“It may be on the coaching staff or maybe as an ambassador, but that is too official and functional for me. They need to go into the squad and help players with their experience.”
