Didier Drogba denied reports of his retirement on Wednesday, saying he had not yet taken a decision over his future amid speculation about a possible coaching role with former club Chelsea.

The Montreal Impact striker said he was still in discussions with the Major League Soccer outfit, who he joined last year.
“Lovely to receive these messages but I have not yet announced my retirement & am still in discussion with @impactmontreal about my future,” Drogba wrote on Twitter.

French newspaper L’Equipe earlier reported on Wednesday that the Ivory Coast legend had already informed Montreal of his plans to quit and return to Chelsea.
Drogba’s future has been the subject of intense speculation since he was seen seated alongside Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and Guus Hiddink during the Premier League team’s match against Sunderland last month.
Montreal are reportedly reluctant to part company with Drogba, who is contracted to the club for the 2016 season.
The 37-year-old made a spectacular start to his MLS career last season, with 11 goals in 11 regular-season matches.

Can Guus Hiddink play Alexandre Pato, Diego Costa together at Chelsea? ESPN FC's Alejandro Moreno feels Alexandre Pato has been given a second chance as he now joins Chelsea. Alexandre Pato is a Chelsea player until the summer and supporters are eager to find out how the Brazilian will fit in. Those expecting him to be employed strictly as a back-up to Diego Costa, however, may be in for a surprise if Hiddink's remarks in his Friday news conference are anything to go by. "He was used to playing at Milan as a striker and we want him to play as a striker as well -- but maybe in a slightly different style, second or third to Diego," Hiddink said. "He must play in that area. Recently he played a little bit more as a No. 10 [for Sao Paulo] and he can play on the left or right side of an advanced midfield position." Pato's versatility clearly appeals to Hiddink and it seems Chelsea's interim manager can foresee situations in wh...
