Didier Drogba’s Chelsea future will be down to owner Roman Abramovich, says Blues boss Jose Mourinho.
After two years away, Drogba returned to his beloved Chelsea at the beginning of the season as a stop-gap to fill the voids left by the departures of Fernando Torres and Demba Ba.
With the Ivorian in the twilight years of his career it is still unclear as to whether he will call time on his playing career at the end of the season, but reports suggest he will be offered a coaching role with the west London club.
Mourinho says that the decision is not his to make but that of Drogba and the clubs owner, Abramovich.
‘I didn’t speak with him [yet],’ Mourinho said. ‘I think it belongs to him: what he feels, what he thinks.
‘This is a club thing. This is a Mr Abramovich thing. Mr Abramovich wants him to do what he wants in the club, but it’s something Mr Abramovich has to tell him.
‘He has to decide. But, obviously, he belongs to the history of this club. These guys are special players.’
Chelsea fans: Do you think Drogba should continue playing or become a coach at the club?
