'Andriy Shevchenko lined up for return to Chelsea'

 
22 May 2012

Andriy Shevchenko has been tipped to make a return to Chelsea ... this time as a coach.

The striker - widely regarded as a £30million flop after joining Chelsea in 2006 from AC Milan - is currently playing at Dynamo Kiev and is taking his coaching badges.

Roman Abramovich wants to make sweeping changes at Chelsea next season despite the club lifting the European Cup on Saturday.

Shevchenko - who scored nine goals in 48 games at Chelsea - has been a regular visitor to the Blues' training ground this season, according to the Daily Mail. He is still close friends with Abramovich.

He is expected to make a decision on his future after Euro 2012, where he will captain Ukraine.

If he decides to retire from playing at the end of the tournament, a return to Stamford Bridge could be on the cards.
