Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has said that Didier Drogba has a job for the long-term at Chelsea, telling reporters that the striker will have a role at the club beyond his playing days if he wants it. Furthermore, the Portuguese manager has revealed that Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich wants Drogba at Chelsea. “It is a return to stay,” Mourinho said of his signing Drogba, before laying out his possible future options. “No longer will there be more (Drogba) in China or Drogba playing at Galatasaray,” “Drogba will be a coach or assistant youth football team or the main ambassador of Chelsea or assistant director of sports. “There will be a role for him what he wants. He is a player who Mr Abramovich wants at the club.” Mourinho also insisted that he knows exactly how he will use Drogba this season, with the Ivory Coast forward likely to provide back-up to Diego Costa. “It’s a return without any pressure, without goals, goals without playing more or less. It is important for the club and the squad. I know he is 36 and not 26, when I [first] signed him, but I know exactly where and when to make best use of him.”
