Vitorino Hilton will have to wait before putting on the crampons. FC Sète, which plays in National, had signed the Brazilian defender with a license, hoping that he could then convert him to a federal contract. But the French Football Federation (FFF) stopped these ambitions in their tracks: the association which sponsors football in France rejected the request of the Hérault club, learned 20 minutes with the club, confirming the information from France Bleu Hérault. It will now be necessary to wait for the next summer transfer window so that the player can tread the lawns with Sète.
Vitorino Hilton had indicated, during his presentation to the club, on February 2, that the challenge, in Sète, had “pleased him enormously. It is a club that deserves to be in the major championships, Ligue 1, Ligue 2, soon, perhaps”.
“Too much to play”
he had assured that it was “a hasty decision to announce that[il prenait sa] retirement”, when he left the MHSC, after ten years, in 2021. Moreover, he assures that he “never stopped training” after his departure from Montpellier. “I really want to play, it’s stronger than me, I can’t hide it from you,” he confided. The Brazilian has also indicated that he would not take a euro to play with the Sète club.
While waiting to find the grounds, he will be able to bring his professional experience to the club. Its leaders had indicated that they hoped that the former MHSC would get involved at all levels, especially with young players or recruitment.
