Thomas Tuchel gets his way! Chelsea goalkeeping coach Henrique Hilario hands in resignation as he prepares to join England backroom team

Premier League

Tottenham

Chelsea

<p>Hilario's move brings to an end an 18-year stay at the west London club. Having joined Chelsea as a player in 2006, the Portuguese stayed on in a coaching role at the end of his career but will now depart to join former Blues boss Tuchel at England.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>According to <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/11/20/tuchel-england-boost-chelsea-coach-hilario-resigns/" target="_blank"><em>The Telegraph</em></a>, Hilario was open to a job-share but Chelsea refused his request. The Blues are unlikely to replace the 49-year-old given Enzo Maresca already has goalkeeping coach Michele De Bernardin and assistant Willy Caballero on his staff.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Tuchel begins his new role as England head coach on January 1. His backroom team currently includes Hilario as goalkeeping coach, Anthony Barry as his assistant and Chelsea's former head of performance analysis, James Melbourne. The German's full backroom team will be announced soon. Ashley Cole won't be included, however, with the former Chelsea defender re-joining Lee Carsley with the Under-21s.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>We're little over a month away from the Tuchel era beginning. The ex-Chelsea boss will take charge of his first games in March when England's 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign gets underway.</p>

WHAT NEXT FOR ENGLAND?
