Hilario only made 20 league appearances for Chelsea between 2006 and 2014, and while he may not be the best goalkeeper in the world, he actually deserves a lot of respect considering the 18 years he spent at the club.
He is indeed one of the unsung heroes, and anyone who happened to speak to Hilario at the club over the years always had good words to say and mentioned his commitment to the football club.
Hilario has now handed in his notice to our club, but please know that it was a very difficult decision for him and probably the most difficult decision he has ever had to make.
Hilario loves this football club despite not being a major figure during his playing days. As a goalkeeper coach, I’ve heard only good things.
But he has now left to join his good friend Thomas Tuchel in the England national team. I heard the two got on really well at Chelsea and had a real mutual respect for what the other does.
Hilario resigned from Chelsea to become Tuchel’s England goalkeeping coach.
He decided to leave Chelsea to work with Tuchel in England after the club made it clear they did not want him sharing jobs with England. whole body.
There will be many people at Cobham who will miss having Hilario around as he finally decides to start a new chapter in his career.
He has been a true team player throughout his time at the club, acting as an emotional supporter and true motivator to many of the players.
He will not be remembered as a Chelsea legend and I have seen many people criticize him over the years. But at least Hilario deserves a lot of respect for his commitment to this club and helping us achieve the great success he has seen and helped achieve here.
