Javier Torres Gómez (born 9 January 1970) is a Spanish retired footballer who played mainly as a right back.

Most of his professional career was associated with Valladolid, as both a player and manager, coaching in several capacities and categories.[1]

Playing career

[edit]

Youth years comprised, Madrid-born Torres Gómez spent six years with Real Madrid, playing four seasons with the B-team, three of them in Segunda División. He scored a career-best five goals in 38 games in 1992–93 as the reserves finished in sixth position, and started his career as a midfielder.

In summer 1993, Gómez signed for Real Valladolid, where he would remain for the rest of his career. He made his La Liga debut on 5 September in a 0–1 home loss against Sporting de Gijón, but only appeared in two matches in his first year due to a serious injury.[2]

A regular first-team unit in the following decade, Gómez never played in less than 34 league games from 2000 to 2004, with the latter campaign ending in top-flight relegation. After one more season in the second level the 35-year-old retired from football, as the Castile and León club's second player with more top division appearances.[3]

Coaching career

[edit]

In the following years, Torres Gómez continued working with Valladolid: in 2008, he was named youth system coordinator[4] and, two years later, joined Antonio Gómez's coaching staff in the first team. On 29 November 2010, following the head coach's dismissal, he was named interim manager,[5] leading the team in the 0–0 away draw against FC Barcelona B.[6]

Subsequently, Gómez was appointed manager of the reserves in Tercera División,[7] accumulating with his work in the club's cantera.[8] On 8 July 2014, after achieving promotion via the play-offs, he moved to Villarreal CF C from Tercera División in the same capacity;[9] subsequently, he joined Celta de Vigo B,[10] but was sacked in February following ten games without a win and was replaced by Alejandro Menéndez.[11]
