New Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink says that he would love to recruit Didier Drogba to the club's backroom staff.
Speculation had increased that the Ivorian could join the coaching staff under Hiddink, following two illustrious playing spells with the Blues.
However with another season remaining on his playing contract with Montreal Impact in the MLS, the Stamford Bridge hierarchy have stressed that such a scenario is currently out of the question.
Hiddink, whose appointment for a second spell as manager was confirmed on Saturday just before kick-off, believes the club need more people with his 'heart' as they rebuild following a poor start to the season and the departure of Jose Mourinho.
"We would like to get him involved," Hiddink told Fox Sports of Drogba.
"But he still has a contract with Montreal in the MLS, even though it is the close season for them now. We want to get important players involved with the club they care about. Drogba's heart is with Chelsea."
Drogba won four Premier League titles, four FA Cups, three League Cups and scored the winning penalty in the 2012 Champions League final in two trophy laden spells in west London.
