Didier Drogba questions why Eden Hazard would ever leave Chelsea | OneFootball

Chelsea legend Didier Drogba wants Eden Hazard to have a Chelsea legacy that mirrors his own.

In an interview with Omnisport, Drogba revealed his displeasure with the rumors heavily linking Hazard to Real Madrid.

“Why [should he leave]?” the Ivorian said, “I think he can have this here in Chelsea.

“You know, I had many opportunities to leave and I decided to stay to make my own story and win the Champions League here. I think he’s got a chance to make his own story.

“This club is still young and we need people like him to improve the quality in terms of Champions League trophies in the room, he can help us.

“I will be very happy if he stays here, but if he goes to Madrid, good luck to him.”

Despite missing out on the Real Madrid job, Drogba said that former Chelsea boss José Mourinho will once again thrive as a manager.

“I think Jose is a great manager,” Drogba said.

“I think he deserves the chance to manage again and I think he will. He is passionate about his job.

“You know, it’s unfortunate what happened with Man United, but he still has the quality to manage a team.

“We know he did it many times and people forget that the year before he won the Europa League with this team and suddenly everyone says he is done.”
