Chelsea´s goalkeeping coach Hilario has handed in his resignation with the Blues after an approach by Thomas Tuchel to join his England set-up.

Stamford Bridge sources have confirmed that the 49-year-old former shot-stopper has decided to leave. Tuchel is due to officially take over as Three Lions boss as of January 1, 2025 on an 18-month contract.

Hilario is set to join England´s backroom staff which already includes assistant Anthony Barry and also James Melbourne, the head of performance who likewise resigned from Chelsea last month amid a Tuchel raid on his old club.

Hilario appeared 39 times for Chelsea between 2006 and 2014. The Portuguese with a single cap for his country then joined the coaching staff after retiring, serving under successive managers including Tuchel.

Chelsea are already well-stocked in the goalkeeping coach department. Michele De Bernardin arrived with Enzo Maresca from Leicester, while Willy Caballero is also his assistant and Ben Roberts is head of global goalkeeping.

Chelseas anfører glipper nu endnu kamp.

- Desværre mærkede Reece noget småt, og vi ønsker ikke at tage nogen risiko for denne kamp, lyder det ifølge Sky Sport.

Anyway, pointen er, at hvis man faktisk ser Chelsea kampe i stedet for at læse om dem, så er det ret åbenlyst, hvem der skaber noget og hvem der bare løber med. Og Palmer er i den grad en af dem, der ret konsekvent er med til at skabe noget.
