Hiddink: Drogba would be wasted in an ambassador role - he should be a coach - Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink believes Didier Drogba would be wasted as an ambassador and wants the club legend to be a part of his coaching staff.

Drogba now plies his trade for Montreal Impact in MLS, but Hiddink - who replaced Jose Mourinho at Stamford Bridge until the end of the season earlier this month - is eager for the 37-year-old to return to west London.

Speaking at a media conference on Wednesday, Hiddink said: "A few days ago before the Sunderland game I said that those rare kind of former players with this status would be very good for any club to have.

"Especially him because he's a Chelsea legend, but for the moment we have to respect his contract with Montreal.
