Drogba wants a Chelsea reunion with the \'Special One\' Mourinho
Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has admitted that he would like to see Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho return to Stamford Bridge in the summer.
Speculation has been swirling around the Bernabeu about
the future of Mourinho for much for the current season – including the now discredited story last week that he has agreed to renew his contract.
With Chelsea parting company with fellow Portuguese coach Andre Villas-Boas two weeks ago, Mourinho’s name was quickly linked to a return to the scene of his English triumphs.
Drogba, who won three league titles under Mourinho, now says he would like to see him back at the Bridge. “It would be nice [to see Mourinho back], it would be fun for the story,” he told UK’s SkySports. “There is a lot of speculation – him, Benitez, all these managers. Let\'s see what happens.”
Drogba, however, might not even be around to see it should it happen. Last night, Nicolas Anelka suggested that the 34-year-old might be joining him in the lucrative Chinese league next season.
Drogba is one of the senior professionals widely believed to have been behind the squad unrest during Villas-Boas’ tenure, and his future in London is certain to depend on the identity of the new manager.
The Ivorian, who has gone onto score over 150 goals for Chelsea since his move from Marseille in 2004, is out of contract at Stamford Bridge in the summer and has been linked with a host of clubs from afar a field as Qatar, USA and Russia.
