Former Spain striker Fernando Torres has been named as head coach of Atletico Madrid’s B team.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 40-year-old was coach of Atletico’s Under-19s side prior to accepting his new position.<\/p>\n

“I accept it as a great challenge with a lot of ambition and the tranquillity of knowing that we are ready,” said Torres.<\/p>\n

Torres had an illustrious playing career in which he made 110 appearances for Spain and won the World Cup in 2010.<\/p>\n

He also helped his country win the European Championships in 2008 and 2012, scoring in both finals.<\/p>\n

On the club front, Torres started his playing career at Atletico before going on to play for Liverpool and then moving to Chelsea for a then British record transfer fee of \u00a350m.<\/p>\n

He had a brief spell at AC Milan prior to returning to Atletico in late 2014 and won the Europa League with them in 2018.<\/p>\n

Torres retired in 2019 after playing in Japan with Sagan Tosu.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
