Drogba admits Chelsea in regular contact

Chelsea legend Didier Drogba admits he's spoken with management about a coaching return.

Drogba is this season playing for Montreal Impact in MLS, but reveals talks with Chelsea are ongoing.

He told Canadian radio: "Chelsea? There have been discussions, of course, but that's part of the football environment.

"I was in Marseille. One day before the end of the championship, I extended my contract to stay in Marseille. I could see myself playing there five or six years. A month later, I was at Chelsea, because they have made an offer that Marseille could not refuse.

"Regarding Montreal, I will stay until the end of my contract in December. If it was for money, I had other proposals."
