Drogba finally returns to Stamford Bridge

Chelsea have completed the signing of Didier
Drogba on a one-year contract.
The 36-year-old returns to Stamford Bridge
having left in 2012 after winning the Champions
League .
Drogba, who featured for Cote d’Ivoire at the
World Cup earlier this summer, has scored 157
goals in 341 appearances for Chelsea and has
also won three Premier League titles, four FA
Cups and two League Cups with the club.
“It was an easy decision,” the striker told the
club’s official website.
“I couldn’t turn down the opportunity to work
with Jose again. Everyone knows the special
relationship I have with this club and it has
always felt like home to me.
“My desire to win is still the same and I look
forward to the opportunity to help this team. I
am excited for this next chapter of my career.”
Drogba is reunited with Jose Mourinho after
working with the Portuguese for three years
before his departure in September 2007.
“He’s coming because he’s one of the best
strikers in Europe,” the former Real Madrid and
Inter coach said.
“I know his personality very well and I know if
he comes back he’s not protected by history or
what he’s done for this club previously. He is
coming with the mentality to make more
history.”
