The last two years have been pivotal in the development of Phoenix Rising, largely in part to the leadership role assumed by Drogba both on and off the pitch. The United Soccer League's Phoenix Rising have announced the signing of Didier Drogba as a player-executive, with the hope the former Chelsea star can help the team in its bid to join Major League. In 21 games over the last two years for Phoenix Rising, Drogba has scored 12 goals and assisted on four others. With that in mind, it seems as if the 40-year-old might have some unfinished business in Phoenix. It’s up to the general public to interpret Drogba’s tweet, as no official statement was made regarding his plan to retire.
