Drogba's decision a 'milestone' for MLS
The former Chelsea Striker Dider Drogba has opted to return to Major League Soccer rather than return to the Premier League.
Noel Butler from TSN assesses the importance of Didier Drogba's decision to stay with Montreal Impact rather than join the coaching set-up at Premier League Champions Chelsea.
The Ivorian striker was considering ending his MLS stay a year early to work with Guus Hiddink but the Chelsea boss has confirmed Drogba won't be returning to Stamford Bridge.
Butler described Drogba's decision to stay as a "milestone" for Major League soccer and told Sport Today leaving for a Premier League coaching role would've suggested a "lack of credibility" for Major League Soccer.
