The Torrent era kicks off at home
Although he was announced two months ago, the Spanish coach has only managed away games or in the Club World Cup, so this match will mark his debut in front of the albiazul fans.
Historically, recent Monterrey coaches have had good home debuts.
Fernando Ortiz defeated Atlas in his first game in the Apertura 2023, while Víctor Manuel Vucetich and Javier Aguirre also started with victories over América.
The exception was Martín Demichelis, who debuted with a home defeat in Matchday 6 of the Apertura 2024, when Toluca won 2-1.
Interestingly, he was the last coach to lead Rayados to a Liga MX Final.
Antonio Mohamed, in his second stint with the club, drew 1-1 against Chivas in his return to the Steel Giant.
Now, Torrent will seek to write his own story against Atlas at 7:00 PM this Saturday.

Messi to miss Miami's Leagues Cup match against Pumas
Lionel Messi will miss Inter Miami's crucial Leagues Cup match against Pumas UNAM due to a muscle issue, coach Javier Mascherano said Tuesday. The Argentinian striker suffered what Mascherano called a "minor muscle injury" in his upper right leg in Miami's win over Necaxa last Saturday. While there is no timetable for Messi's return, Mascherano was hopeful the star would soon be back on the field. "Within the bad news, it's good news," Mascherano told reporters. "He usually recovers very well from injuries and above all, normally does with speed, so we will see. But clearly for tomorrow he is unavailable. But then we will see how he feels, how he progresses." Messi, who has a league-best 18 goals in MLS matches this season, led Miami to the Leagues Cup crown in 2023 shortly after his arrival to the Herons. Inter Miami likely need a victory over Pumas in their group stage finale to reach the quarter-finals of the Leagues Cup, which features MLS and Mexican league squads. Should Miami reach the knockout stages, Messi would have two weeks to recover before the quarter-finals. Miami's next MLS match is set for Sunday against Orlando. js/nf

Trans female foreign athletes face new hurdles to compete in US: ‘Men do not belong in women's sports'
Transgender female athletes from outside the US will face new hurdles in obtaining a visa to enter the country to compete in major sporting events. The US Citizenship and Immigration Services issued new guidance Monday saying foreign athletes who are born male and transition to female will have their gender status working against them when they apply for a visa for competitions in America. 'Men do not belong in women's sports,' USCIS spokesman Matthew Tragesser said in a statement. 'USCIS is closing the loophole for foreign male athletes whose only chance at winning elite sports is to change their gender identity and leverage their biological advantages against women. Advertisement 3 Trans female former college swimmer Lia Thomas (left) ignited a firestorm when she was allowed to compete against women including Riley Gaines, who has heavily criticized the situation. USA TODAY Sports 'It's a matter of safety, fairness, respect, and truth that only female athletes receive a visa to come to the U.S. to participate in women's sports,' the rep said. 'The Trump Administration is standing up for the silent majority who've long been victims of leftist policies that defy common sense.' The agency did not come right out and say it was issuing a complete ban on foreign trans female athletes entering the US for sporting events but described the new rules as restrictive. Advertisement But the policy change is significant as it comes ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which the US is co-hosting alongside Canada and Mexico, as well as the 2028 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles. The move is in line with President Trump's February 'Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports' executive order, which declared US opposition to 'male competitive participation in women's sports.' 3 President Trump takes executive action in February to ensure what he called safeguarding women's sports. Getty Images 'In Los Angeles in 2028, my administration will not stand by and watch men beat and batter female athletes, and we're just not going to let it happen, and it's going to end, and it's ending right now, and nobody's going to be able to do a damn thing about it,' Trump said at the time. Advertisement Polls indicate that an overwhelming majority of Americans believe it is unfair to allow transgender athletes to compete against biological women. The updated immigration guidance, first reported by the Daily Wire, notes that USCIS doesn't use the term transgender and simply refers to the trans female athletes as being born male. Foreign athletes have frequently been able to obtain US visas in the past because of the 'extraordinary abilities' they bring to the country, according to the law. 3 The US Citizenship and Immigration Services operates under the Department of Homeland Security. Bloomberg via Getty Images Advertisement But 'USCIS does not consider a male athlete who has gained acclaim in men's sports and seeks to compete in women's sports in the United States to be seeking to continue work in his area of extraordinary ability,' a press release from the agency said. 'It is not in the national interest to the United States to waive the job offer and, thus, the labor certification requirement for male athletes whose proposed endeavor is to compete in women's sports.' The Trump administration has broadly worked to clamp down on visas and illegal crossings in general. On Monday, the State Department filed a notice of plans to set up a visa bond pilot program in which migrants would have to put money down to enter the US. They would have to leave the US on time when their visas expire in order to get those funds returned.

Buccaneers' Teddy Bridgewater signing comes years after he was their Tom Brady Plan B
A Teddy Bridgewater-Buccaneers union has apparently been years in the making. That's what general manager Jason Licht suggested Tuesday when speaking about Tampa Bay's interest in signing the veteran quarterback, sharing how Bridgewater, 32, was an alternative option at the position in 2020 had Tom Brady not taken his talents south from New England. 'We had him in here in 2014 before the draft, there might've been a situation where we would've taken him if he had fell a little further,' Licht said of the former Louisville product, who was taken 32nd overall by the Vikings that year. Advertisement 5 Veteran QB Teddy Bridgewater had been on the Buccaneers' radar before August 2025. AP 5 The Buccaneers went with another option at QB in 2020: seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady. Getty Images 'And, you know, a few years ago, he was what was behind door No. 2. So, we talked about that today on the sideline. We ended up with Tom Brady, but now we have Teddy on the roster.' Advertisement Brady, now 48, signed with Tampa Bay in a 2020 blockbuster move after 20 seasons and six Super Bowl wins with the Patriots. He played for the Buccaneers for three seasons, winning what would be his seventh and final Super Bowl in February 2021. 5 Tom Brady spent three seasons in Tampa Bay before calling it a career in 2023. Getty Images The future Hall of Famer called it a career after the 2022 season. Advertisement Bridgewater has been circling an NFL return after leaving his post as head football coach of Miami Northwestern (Fla.). The former first-round pick was suspended from the program in July for allegedly providing 'impermissible benefits' to his players. He sought financial assistance from fans and parents to help cover out-of-pocket expenses such as Uber rides and pre-game meals. Bridgewater led Miami Northwestern to a state championship victory in December before linking up with the Lions ahead of their playoff push. Advertisement He previously signed with the club in August 2023 before calling it a career in early 2024. Bridgewater spent the first four years of his career in Minnesota, where he was limited in the latter two due to a torn ACL sustained before the start of the 2016-17 season. 5 Teddy Bridgewater had different stints around the NFL, including a run with the Broncos. Getty Images He was traded to the Sants in August 2018 after spending much of the offseason with the Jets. Bridgewater then bounced around the league with stops in Carolina, Denver and Miami before his first stint in Detroit. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Tuesday morning that Bridgewater was visiting the Buccaneers and was poised to sign with the team. 5 Teddy Bridgewater last suited up for the Lions. AP Licht added Tuesday how Bridgewater would be a welcome addition to a quarterback room that features starter Baker Mayfield and backup Kyle Trask. Advertisement 'Good for Baker [Mayfield], experienced guy, obviously very smart — hell of a high school coach, hell of a coach in general. But just a good addition, just to have that wealth of experience there,' he said, according to Pro Football Talk. Mayfield, the first overall pick in 2018, has enjoyed a career renaissance with the Buccaneers after signing with the team in 2023. He was awarded a three-year contract extension worth $100 million the following offseason after making the playoffs in his first season in Tampa. In 79 appearances, Bridgewater has thrown for 15,120 yards, 75 touchdowns and 47 interceptions.
