The arrival of Hernán Torres to Millionaires brings good memories to the fans ambassador. Already, in 2012, the Tolimense coach assumed at a complicated moment and led the club to his star 14.

Now, in 2025, he finds a team shaken by the sports crisis, with a single point in six games and a fan who has lost patience. The departure of David González left the door open for a return loaded with symbolism and responsibility.

Thus the arrival of Hernán Torres to Millonarios

Torres explained, in an interview with ESPN, how was the first contact with the leadership, an anecdote that reflects the unexpected of his arrival: “At that time, I was in my room, the cell phone rang, it was a number that I did not know, then I did not answer. At the Rhic He said: How is it?

In his statements, Torres showed gratitude and at the same time the magnitude of the challenge he faces: “They are things of life. I have the possibility of being in Millionaires. Today we close the subject and we are ready to try to get ahead, contribute what we have and conceptualized in a football life. Hopefully things go well.”

The new coach did not dodge the critical context in which the institution is. With the team sunk in the table, he described: “The situation is not easy and football never was. We are going through a difficult time and we all know that institutions have high and low, and the loss now has millionaires now.”

The diagnosis is clear: there is a break that needs to be corrected as soon as possible, with discipline and character.

In that same sense, the technician emphasized collective work: “This has to be teamwork, I cannot do it alone, I do not do miracles. We must try to make things change, I do not say that David has not done well, but they are situations that occur. You have to contribute, fight. Millionaires is great and as such we have to try to move forward with the institution.” The message was direct to players, coaching staff and leaders: the reconstruction does not depend on a single name.

The fan, demanding and beaten by the latest results, also expects management signs in the market. Torres, prudent, explained how he will address the issue of reinforcements: “We are going to evaluate how many quotas are there. If they are brought, they will be free and hope to see when they find the group to see possibilities. The leaders want to be champions, you have to react first. Always millionaires have the goal of being champions and everyone knows, regardless of the payroll it has.”

On the payroll, Torres admitted that he barely begins to know her in detail: “I arrived last night, we will look like the knowledge of the payroll. I have given me the details of the players and we are studying. On Sunday I will come into contact to make a real evaluation of what is in Millionaires.”

The initial work will be observation and diagnosis, something that Tolimense already lived in his first stage when he knew how to consolidate a group that ended up champion in 2012.

The past of Hernán Torrres in Millionaires

The story does not go unnoticed. In his first cycle, Torres led Millionaires to the semifinals of the South American Cup and broke 24 years of drought in Colombian football with star 14. His performance in that period was 52.42 %, with 48 wins in 110 games. He also played Copa Colombia and Super League, and left an indelible memory in the fans, although his departure in 2013 marked a break with the directive of that time.

Today, in his new link with the club, Torres reunits with an institution that needs it again in adversity. The mission is not different from that of thirteen years ago: recovering discipline, character and trust, returning sports prominence and reconnecting with the tribune of El Campín.

The hope of the fans is mixed with caution. Hernán Torres knows that there is no time to lose and that the margin of error is minimal. “Millionaires is great and as such we have to try to carry out the institution,” he said, summarizing in that phrase the dimension of the challenge. His return is more than a change of coach: it is an attempt to recover the identity of a team that, once again, needs to meet the victory and its history.
