Drogba: FIF bid suffers slight set back but star is confident. Getty images.

DIDIER DROGBA'S REVIVAL PROJECT FOR THE REPOSITIONING OF FOOTBALL IN THE IVORY COAST.

Didier Drogba's reputation on the world stage remains an important asset in attracting both investors and sponsors to help local football overcome its lethargy. Every major brand in the world dreams of associating their image with Drogba. Drogba has what it takes for the job. Not having the support of several of Ivory Coast former footballers is a small hurdle considering the fact that their vote will count for only 1% of the tally on D day. They may have had their grievances but an election in a democracy is a policy debate. Not one where we linger on small matters and personal issues. The future of Ivorian football is at stakes here. His opponents, thanks to them have garnered two African cups in more than 30 years in office. Time has come for a change. Didier's humility will be needed when he is at the helm, as the greatest challenges will then be to surround himself with a team of true professionals worthy of the trust of the Nation.
