Ivory Coast and former Chelsea forward Didier Drogba has confirmed he is no more playing football after having a career span of 20 years with the round-leather game. The Chelsea legend won four Premier League titles, four FA Cups, three League Cups and the Champions League with Chelsea in all his period of stint at the London club. While in Chelsea, Drogba also won the Premier League Golden Boot in 2006-07 and 2009-10. The Ivorian who left on a high note, after scoring the winning penalty in the Champions League final shootout against Bayern Munich will be remembered for his significant contributions towards helping the club in their first ever and only European title. The 40-year-old Ivory Coast striker had two spells at Chelsea, scoring 164 goals in 381 games and winning four Premier Leagues and the 2012 Champions League. He spent the last 18 months of his career with US side Phoenix Rising, the club he co-owns. He told the BBC World service's Sporthour that: "After 20 years, I have decided to put an end to my playing career,".
