Drogba made the move to the United States in July on a designated player contract for two seasons and scored 11 goals in 11 appearances for the Impact.
But the Impact say they are keen to get Drogba back next year when the MLS off-season is over.
“He’s a legend already in this club”.
Hiddink called Drogba a Chelsea legend, but as for luring him back, the Dutchman said “people have to deal with contracts and situations”.
“We would like to get him involved”, Hiddink told Fox Sports when asked about whether Drogba is an option as his assistant. But he is playing for Montreal, under contract.
Chelsea fans will undoubtedly be excited by these developments, as Drogba was the heart and soul of the club through its most successful years alongside the likes of John Terry and Frank Lampard.
He added: “All the big clubs, and the smaller ones, have these specific guys, figures, who can go into whatever they like – coach, ambassador, manager – but they must be given the opportunity to do so”.

“We understand his attachment, but our objective is to have him back for another season”, Montreal tweeted. “They give the Chelsea brand a big image, worldwide”.
