Who is Domènec Torrent? Pep Guardiola's pupil could join Chivas
Spanish coach Domènec Torrent went from being the strategist of Atlético de San Luis to becoming one of the main candidates to occupy the Chivas bench in the next tournament.
His great work with Atlético de San Luis and the bond he has had with Josep Guardiola for ten years currently place him as the ideal profile to be the coach of Guadalajara for the 2025 Apertura Tournament .
Given this situation, EL INFORMADOR recalls Torrent's work as Guardiola's assistant and pupil , as well as his career as a technical director in different parts of the world.
The Spanish manager established himself as Pep Guardiola's right-hand man during his most successful spells in Spain and Germany. He was instrumental in the former Barcelona player's journey to becoming one of the most successful and important managers in world football.
His revolutionary ideas regarding Guardiola's playing style were fundamental to the now Manchester City manager's highly successful work. He excelled at collaborating tactically and placing players in unusual positions and roles, all with the goal of getting the best performance from the squad.
The former San Luis manager's work with Guardiola began at Barcelona B , where he first began developing the team's footballing side. Pep played 247 matches, a period that was crucial in laying the foundations for what would later become a storied team with the Catalan first team.
He was also part of Guardiola's working group during the Blaugrana's most successful period, where they won a total of 14 titles and, just one year after their promotion to the first team, they obtained the "sextet" of titles .
Following Guardiola's departure from Barcelona, Torrent accompanied Pep in his new spell in Germany with Bayern Munich , where they won seven titles, leaving a record of three consecutive titles with the German side. In his final stint as assistant, he collaborated with his mentor at Manchester City , the club that would become his final stint as assistant, where he won the League Cup and a Premier League title.
Stage as a coachHis coaching career began in 2018 , after ten years as an assistant coach under Josep Guardiola. He joined New York City in the MLS , where he made history by earning a record 62 points and helping the team reach the semifinals for the first time in its history.
He later emigrated to Brazil with Flamengo , where he had a brief spell due to poor results. He managed the team in 26 matches and, following significant defeats in the Brazilian championship and the Copa Libertadores, was dismissed.
After his poor performance in Brazil, he found a new opportunity in Turkey with Galatasaray , where he recorded seven wins, four draws, and seven losses. With the Turkish team, he reached the Champions League round of 16, where he was eliminated by Barcelona. After the arrival of a new president, he was dismissed.
Finally, his time in Mexico with Atlético de San Luis arrived , a team with which he led the red-and-white team to the top spots, making the Potosí team the "Dark Horse" of the 2024 Apertura Tournament, after reaching the semifinals of that tournament. In his next tournament, the numbers didn't accompany the Spanish strategist and he finished in fifteenth place.
