from the club, confirming 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 [he was] retiring", when he left the MHSC, after ten years, in 2021. Moreover, he assures that he does not “never stopped training” after leaving 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.
