A legendary Chelsea coach resigns after nearly two decades with the team.

According to recent reports, Chelsea's long-time goalkeeping coach, Henrique Hilario, has decided to step down from his role after an impressive 18 years at the club. It seems that Hilario has been offered a position with the England national team, where he will be working alongside former Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel.

While Hilario was open to the idea of a job share, it appears that Chelsea was not on board with this arrangement and will now have to search for a replacement. The Telegraph confirms that Hilario's resignation has been made official. The Portuguese 'keeper first joined the Blues in 2006 and remained with the club until the end of his playing career in 2014. He then returned to Chelsea in 2016 as an assistant goalkeeping coach under Antonio Conte before being promoted to goalkeeping coach by Maurizio Sarri in 2018.

Now, with Tuchel taking over as the permanent manager of the England team in January, it seems that Hilario will be joining him in this new era. In a statement made in October, Tuchel expressed his pride and excitement at being given the opportunity to lead the England team. He also mentioned his personal connection to the game in this country and the incredible moments it has given him.

Tuchel will be working closely with his assistant coach, Anthony Barry, in order to bring success to England and make the fans proud. He thanked the FA for their trust and is looking forward to embarking on this journey with them. With Tuchel at the helm, it will certainly be an exciting time for the England team and their supporters.
