Víctor Torres Mestre
Template:Short description Template:Infobox football biography Template:Family name hatnote Víctor Manuel Torres Mestre (born 31 December 1970) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a left back.
Playing career
Torres Mestre was born in Madrid. After unsuccessfully graduating through Real Madrid's youth ranks, only appearing in two La Liga matches in three and a half years[1][2] and mainly playing with the B-squad, he was released in January 1993, only to find opportunities also scarce at fellow league club Logroñés.
In the summer of 1993, Torres Mestre signed with Espanyol,[3] being an instant first-choice as the Catalan team won the Segunda División title and finished sixth in the following season, narrowly missing out on qualification for the UEFA Cup. He remained a starter until 1998, when he left for Bordeaux.[4]
After one season in France, in which he was the most utilized player in his position as Bordeaux won the Division 1 championship, Torres Mestre returned to Spain, playing with Alavés[5] and Betis, the latter in the second tier. He retired in 2006, after spells with Varzim in Portugal[6][7] and with amateur sides Sporting Mahonés[8] and Premià.[9]
Coaching career
Torres Mestre started coaching in 2010, taking charge of Real Madrid youth sides. He started the 2011–12 campaign at the helm of Badajoz in Segunda División B,[10] leaving his post after only 18 rounds claiming unpaid wages.[11]
