Chelsea great Drogba lined up to replace Terim at Galatasaray

Chelsea great Didier Drogba is being linked with a shock return to Galatasaray.

Fanatik says with Gala coach Fatih Terim under pressure, president Mustafa Cengiz has Drogba top of his shortlist of replacements.

Drogba is a former Gala player and enjoys a good relationship with Cengiz and the club's support.

Cengiz and Terim are at breaking point after the president invited his coach to resign last week, stating: "If we have separate ideas, we should go different ways."

And if Terim does choose to quit, the president's ideal replacement would be Drogba.

The Ivorian has remained in football since his retirement and is currently a part owner in USL outfit Phoenix Rising.
