Torrealba open to PSL return

More than a decade after bidding farewell to South African football, José Torrealba is making a name for himself prominent coach in his homeland, Venezuela, where he currently serves as the technical assistant at Primera División side Deportivo Lara.

The former Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sun downs star joined the club in February this year when he was appointed as the second-in-charge to Argentine manager and former teammate Martín Brignani, returning to the team where he previously spent 18months during his playing days. Torrealba’s move to Lara came as the latest step in his young coaching career, which includes a spell at another of his former sides, Estudiantes de Mérida, and which has seen him emerge as one of the country’s most promising trainers.

“First of all, it was a great feeling to know that I would return to Lara,”
