Guus Hiddink, who is managing the Blues until the end of the season after owner Roman Abramovich sacked Jose Mourinho, has confirmed that he would like to add the Ivorian striker to his backroom staff.
Drogba's current club he is playing for is Montreal Impact, who have revealed that they are in talks with Chelsea at the moment over the 37-year-old.
“I had a very good relationship with [Drogba] last year,” Courtois after Chelsea's 3-0 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday. “He was great for the dressing room and our team.
“If he comes back as a coach it will be a great addition to all the team.”
Drogba scored 164 goals in 381 appearances for Chelsea in two spells, 2004-12, and in the 2014/15 season.
Chelsea are next in action on Saturday against League One Scunthorpe United in the FA Cup third round on Sunday.
