He left the club in 2012 after helping the club to win ten trophies, which included 3 English Premier League titles, 4 FA Cups, 2 League Cups, and one champions League title.
After winning the Champions League, he left in 2012 and joined the Chinese club - Shanghai Shenhua, but he was there for just about six months.

| Didier Drogba |
Jose Mourinho, said that he was bringing Drogba back to the club, because he is one of the best strikers in Europe.
''He's coming because he's one of the best strikers in Europe,'' Jose said.
Drogba himself said in the Chelsea site, that it was an easy decision for him to come back to the club, since he couldn't turn down the opportunity to work with Jose Mourinho.
''It was an easy decision - I couldn't turn down the opportunity, to work with Jose again,'' Drogba said.
''Everyone knows the special relationship I have with this club, and it has always felt like home to me,'' he said.
I hope that his going back to Chelsea in the twilight of his career, will go well, becuase he is not as young and agile as he used to be. And he could not do some of the things he used to do in his prime.
I think that coach Mourinho brought him back, not because he is in top form but because he wants him to retire in the club, and then be employed in one capacity or the other to help the club.
Maybe as an assistant coach, director of football or even as a scout agent etc. Didier Drogba is a legend of the club and as such, Mourinho wants to honour him with a role in the club after he retires.
I think that it is a fitting gesture, for a man who brought so much joy to the club, that was an under achiever for so many decades. Chelsea won so many titles, because of his amazing goals.
