August 12th, "Marca" wrote an article about the recent situation of Atletico Madrid legendary star Fernando Torres. Torres will usher in his second year in coaching Atletico Madrid B team in the new season. His goal is to send more youth training players to the first team.

After announcing the renewal of Atletico Madrid until 2027, Torres' performance last season was summarized: "We are working hard to create an environment that will allow us to achieve our goals, which will not stop. I have one shortcoming, that is, I don't know how to rest and enjoy the present. I always think that tomorrow is a new beginning and we have to face it with this winning mentality."

The coach from Fuen Labradda is now starting his second season in coaching Atletico Madrid B. Atletico Madrid B has been preparing for the new season for several weeks, and the club expects to achieve good results again, which requires very high standards for the coach. Torres said: "Our goal is to send more players to the first team. If it cannot be achieved, then at least allow them to gain a foothold in professional football and allow more Atletico Madrid youth training players to make a difference in professional football."

Two months after the contract renewal, the Spanish Football Association invited Torres to coach the U21 national team, but was rejected. Now, Torres has begun planning the new season and has gradually clarified the prospects of Atletico Madrid B in the new season. Last year, they fought until the last minute to fight for the opportunity to participate in the Spanish Second Division upgrade play-offs.

provides the best environment for youth training players to grow and eventually enter professional football, which is one of the important principles of Torres and his coaching team. To this end, the club decided to move the training and playing field of Team B to the Alcala de Henares Sports Center. Daily training on natural grasslands was the main factor that prompted the club and the Torres team to make this decision.

This change will be finally completed when the club's first team and B teams move into the new sports city next to the Metropolitan Stadium in the future. Currently, moving to Alcala de Henares should be able to improve the training conditions for the young B team players, as they have been training on artificial grass before.

2024/2025 season was Torres' first season in coaching Atletico Madrid B. He had just finished his coaching career as a Youth A team. He hoped to continue to improve his coaching level and was committed to pushing Atletico Madrid youth training academy to the top. In its first season, the team has entered the upgrade play-off zone many times. Now, it’s finally time to get results.

Therefore, Atletico Madrid and Torres decided to renew a two-year contract, a decision that clearly demonstrated the club's support for the coaching team and brought stability to the youth training academy's team. In short, this is an excellent program aimed at bringing Atletico Madrid's youth training college closer to professional football.
