Didier Drogba has hinted at a possible retirement at the end of the season

Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has hinted at a possible retirement at the end of the 2014/15 season.

The Ivory Coast striker, who retired from the international duty in August, joined the Blues on a one-year deal this summer and has mainly been used as a back-up striker to Diego Costa.

The 36-year-old has not lit up the Premier League or Champions League like he did during his first stint at the club and has scored just three goals in 11 appearances for the club this season.

One more year to go: Drogba

The Ivorian said: “This year, the key for me is to enjoy my football and to be with my team-mates and to win trophies.

“There is one more year to go so let’s do it, let’s win more trophies, let’s make history again.”

“I have always said my first eight years here were the best years of my career. I know they enjoyed it because I did. I’m far from all the players who made history here, but I’m also next to them."

Drogba praises Chelsea fans

Drogba also spoke highly of the Blues fans who still chant his name at Stamford Bridge and at away games.

“This relationship between me and the fans goes both ways, the way they show their support and the way they love me.

“If there is some way I love them even more because of all we achieved together, all the history.”

Drogba could get into coaching when he finally decides to hang up his boots.
