Matej Delač (pronounced [mǎtej dělatʃ];[1][2] born 20 August 1992) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Danish 1st Division club Horsens.

[3] A product of Inter Zaprešić youth academy, Delač started to impress very early on and after only a few appearances for Croatia U-15 he attracted attention from bigger clubs across Europe.

[4] He impressed football pundits in his debut by miraculously saving a penalty from Davor Vugrinec in the 85th minute, contributing to Inter's 1–0 victory and becoming man of the match.

On 11 September 2009, two days after Croatia's defeat at Wembley, Croatian news reports revealed that Delač had stayed in London for a medical examination and was on the verge of signing a pre-contract with Premier League club Chelsea.

[6] Reports claimed that Chelsea scouts had been following Delač's performances in the Croatian first division for months and that their Director of Football Frank Arnesen previously went to Zagreb to agree terms of the transfer.

[7] It was announced at a press conference held by Inter on 17 September 2009 that Delač had indeed penned a five-year contract with Chelsea which will come into effect in the January 2011 transfer window.

[11] On 13 September 2011, Dynamo České Budějovice chairman Karel Poborský confirmed that Delač would join the club on loan for the rest of the season.

[27] Delač fell out of favour whilst at the French side and went onto make ten more league appearances before terminating his loan spell in January 2015.

[32] On 3 April 2018, it was announced that Delač would join Danish Superliga side Horsens in the summer of 2018 on a free transfer when his contract with Chelsea ended.
