Saputo expects Drogba to be 'a professional' upon return to Montreal
Impact president Joey Saputo confirmed that Didier Drogba will return for the beginning of the 2016 MLS season, but whether the Ivorian is happy with the fact is unclear.
MONTREAL — Didier Drogba will, after all, be rejoining the Montreal Impact this season, but in what frame of mind, club president Joey Saputo isn't sure.
Speaking to reporters on Monday at Olympic Stadium, Saputo said he hopes the Ivorian will be dedicated to the team’s cause in the same way he was when he joined the club last summer.
“I expect for him to come back, he’s a professional. I expect for him to come back with the right intentions,” Saputo said. “But at the end of the day, we’ll see when he comes back.”
