Didier Drogba has confirmed
he will quit Chelsea following his
Champions League final heroics, according to reports in France. The striker has
been quoted saying he informed his team-mates of his decision during the club's
open-top bus paradeon Sunday after leading them to the greatest moment in their
history on Saturday night.
Drogba,
who has reportedly already agreed a deal to join...
Shanghai Shenhua when his
Chelsea contract expires this summer, is said to have admitted he struggled to
get the words out and burst into tears.
"We
will no longer be together next season," the 34-year-old said in quotes
attributed to France Football magazine. "As I decided to leave, I wanted
to tell them straight in the eye. Except that I could not do it. They made me
crack.
"Even
though it's been three years since I said I wanted to leave, I find it hard to
admit that it's over with this club – especially as I did not feel like this.
But I could not see myself sitting on the bench to watch others play when the
club plans to set up a new team.
"So
that's it – I am preparing for my leap into the unknown. It's going to be
another adventure."
The
Ivorian has made 341 appearances for Chelsea and scored 157 goals in all
competitions.
