José Mario Anthony Torres (born 27 August 1972) is a retired Panamanian football defender. He is currently manager of Sporting San Miguelito.

Club career

Nicknamed Chalate, Torres has had a lengthy career abroad playing for Honduran sides like Platense and Arsenal Roatán.[1] He left Platense after seven years for Real España in summer 2003.[2]

In January 2004 he left Real España after he refused to take up Honduran citizenship which the club asked him to bypass the foreign player quota.[3] He then joined fellow Panamanian Donaldo González at Marathón and he moved to Iran to play alongside compatriot Carlos Rivera with local giants Persepolis.[4][5]

In January 2007, Torres returned to Honduras to play for Victoria after an unsuccessful spell with Persepolis.[6] Later he played in Guatemala for second division sides Deportivo Saranate and Deportivo Guastatoya.[7] He returned to Panama in January 2010 after 14 years abroad when signed by Sporting San Miguelito.[8]

International career

Torres made his debut for Panama in an October 1999 friendly match against Trinidad and Tobago and has earned a total of 75 caps, scoring no goals.[9] He represented his country in 23 FIFA World Cup qualification matches[10] and was a member of the 2005 CONCACAF Gold Cup team, who finished second in the tournament[11] and he also played at the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup.[12]

His final international was a June 2009 friendly match against Haiti.
