Didier Drogba's potential return to Chelsea in a coaching capacity could be vital in stopping Eden Hazard leaving Stamford Bridge, according to reports from the Daily Express.

It is widely believed that Blues legend Drogba will soon be hanging up his boots and leave Montreal Impact to make a return to Chelsea as part of Guus Hiddink's backroom staff.

Many are excited at the prospect of Drogba making a return to West London and if recent reports are to be believed, the future of star winger Hazard hinges on the arrival of the Ivorian.

Hazard has been linked with a move away from Chelsea in January, with Real Madrid and Manchester United showing significant interest, and it has been claimed that Drogba's proposed return will be crucial in convincing the Belgian star to stay put The Bridge as the pair have a very strong relationship.
