Sven Goran Eriksson is excited working withChelsea star Didier Drogba as Ivory Coast’s World Cup coach.

Eriksson, who succeeds Vahid Halilhodzic who left after a disappointing African Nations Cup campaign, believes the Ivory Coast should be confident in the calibre of the players they have.

The Swede said: "Didier Drogba is one of the best strikers in the world and he has showed that for many years now in the Premier League.

"There are other great players too including Eboue at Arsenal, Salomon Kalou, Kolo Toure – and his brother Yaya at Barcelona.

"The only problem is that we are not together until May 22 but that is the same for most of the teams, and I am going to start travelling from tomorrow to see all the players around Europe and in the Ivory Coast too.

"There is a lot of hard work ahead of me but I like that – in fact I love it. I’m really looking forward to the World Cup."
