A representative of the 61-year-old Torrent, Alejandro Gil who doubles as the CEO of Madrid-based Gil Brothers Sports Management Agency, said the experiences of his client over the years especially managing top African players at Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester City while serving under Guardiola would bode well for the Super Eagles on the long run.
According to an online biography, Torrent started his coaching career in 1991 with hometown side Farners, and led the club to a promotion to Regional Preferente in 1994. He then took over UD Cassà also in the sixth level from where he left for AE Roses, still in division six.
After the promotion to the third division and Guardiola’s subsequent appointment as manager of the first team in May 2008, Torrent also went up to the first team under the same role. “Torrent will like to stay and work in Nigeria and he should be able to travel not only around the country but abroad to be able to monitor the players.
“In life as well as in football, money is not everything,” Gil said with a philosophical hue. “First and foremost, this is the first time he is seeking a job with a federation, as such he will also be ready to work within acceptable conditions so far there’s good accommodation and security.
