I carry Drogba’s lesson with me every day, says Phoenix Rising's boss Schantz

Rick Schantz has disclosed lessons learnt from Didier Drogba remain valuable as Phoenix Rising manager.

The ex-Cote d’Ivoire captain played under the American during his brief spell at the Casino Arizona Field Tempe after leaving Montreal Impact.

There, Drogba scored 17 goals in over 22 appearances while helping them to win the USL Western Conference title in 2018.

Reminiscing on his time with the two-time African player of the year, Schantz posted his photo of him with Drogba while revealing he had one of his best conversations after training.

He went further and said he still carries about the lessons from discussions with the Chelsea great.
