Chelsea's Drogba leaving after eight seasons

Didier Drogba is leaving Chelsea after eight seasons.

The 34-year-old Ivory Coast star clinched Chelsea's first European title on Saturday with the last kick in a shootout against Bayern Munich. He also sent the contest into extra time with a game-tying score in regulation.

Drogba leaves Chelsea with 157 goals in 341 appearances. He wants to find a new club for his final seasons.

"As a team we have accomplished so much and have won every single trophy possible," Drogba told reporters. "Saturday was a very special moment for everyone at the club and for all the fans, and I am very proud to have played my part in bringing many trophies to this club."
