Fernando Torres takes the leap and will direct Atlético's Juvenil A

The rojiblanco myth, He has been preparing for months to make the jump to the bench and has been involved in different teams of the athletic quarry.

The Child, who hung up his boots in June 2019 at the Sagan Tosu Japanese after dispute 404 official matches with the Atleti first team, He joined the subsidiary in January to continue his training as a coach. Torres worked together with Nacho Fernández with the second team to get to know their methods and advance in his process as a coach. After saying goodbye for a few weeks for personal reasons, He returned to continue tanning at his club and finished the course collaborating with Juvenil A who lifted the league title ahead of Real Madrid.

And now, it is time for him to take over that bench in a team full of talent. A benchmark at Atlético de Madrid and a model to follow for any youth squad that will continue to evolve in their training process. Fernando Torres already warned in September 2020 that his desire was to return to the team of his heart, but “In the place that allows me to help Atlético more”, qualifying that “Before, I need time to be well prepared and to be able to assume responsibility.” Fernando Torres grows in this new stage of his life, linked to football, but now from the bench after having been directed by Luis Aragonés, Simeone, Del Bosque, Rafa Benítez or Mourinho among others. Perhaps in the future he will have the opportunity to take the reins of the rojiblanco first team, but the first step will be a Juvenil A of Atlético who looks to the future full of illusion.
