Thomas Tuchel is set to poach Henrique Hilario from Chelsea as he prepares to take over as England manager in 2025.
- Hilario has resigned from his position at Chelsea to become Tuchel’s goalkeeping coach with the England team.
- The former Chelsea goalkeeper retired in 2014 after a 20-year career and returned to Stamford Bridge as assistant goalkeeping coach in 2016.
- He was promoted to goalkeeping coach by Maurizio Sarri ahead of the 2018/19 season and has held that role for the last six years.
- Hilario has worked with Tuchel for 18 months during his time at Chelsea.
- Chelsea reportedly did not want Hilario to job-share with England, leading to his decision to leave.
- Tuchel was appointed as England’s head coach last month following Gareth Southgate’s departure.
