Cristóbal Emilio "Curro" Torres Ruiz (born 27 December 1976) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a right back, and the current manager of Valencia CF Mestalla.
In his professional career, whose later years were blighted by several injuries, he represented mainly Valencia, helping the team to two La Liga championships (playing in a total of 119 games in that level over the course of eight seasons, scoring once) and the 2004 UEFA Cup.
Torres appeared for Spain at the 2002 World Cup.
Torres was born in Ahlen, North Rhine-Westphalia, West Germany. His parents hailed from Granada, and emigrated for working purposes.
When their son was still an infant they moved back to Spain, settling in Catalonia.
Torres began his career with UDA Gramenet before joining Valencia CF in 1997. He was a regular with the B-team for two seasons, being subsequently loaned out to Recreativo de Huelva and CD Tenerife in the next two years. In the latter, alongside Mista and Luis García, he was a key member of the Canary Islands club – coached by Rafael Benítez – that won promotion to La Liga.
