Fernando Torres has been named as the new head coach of Atletico Madrid s B team, in a statement released by the LaLiga club on Tuesday.
The former World Cup-winning Spain striker started his coaching career in 2021 with Atletico s Under-19 s side after retiring from professional football two years prior.
His new role will be his first in senior management, and he will succeed Luis Tevenet, who has joined Diego Simeone s senior staff ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.
I am at home and I feel an enormous responsibility since I decided to face this new stage, Torres said. It has been three years of constant learning.
