Vincenzo Torrente (born 12 February 1966) is an Italianfootball coach and former player,.
After starting his career at minor league clubNocerina, Torrente joinedGenoa at the age of 19. Acentre-back, he quickly became a mainstay for the club, spending 15 consecutive seasons with theRossoblu at both Serie A and Serie B levels, also playing at the European level during theOsvaldo Bagnoli period in the early 1990s. He left Genoa in 2000 after collecting more than 400 games with the club to joinAlessandria, where he ended his career in 2011 at the age of 35.
After retirement, Torrente became a coach and promptly returned to Genoa, heading theAllievi Nazionali (under-17 youth squad). Later in 2002, he was appointed as caretaker coach together withRino Lavezzini in what turned out to be a troublesome season that ultimately ended in relegation (then annulled due to the so-calledCaso Catania) for the club. He then returned to working as a youth coach for Genoa until 2009, when his former bossLuigi Simoni offered him a head coaching post atLega Pro Seconda Divisione clubGubbio. Under his two-year tenure, Gubbio achieved a surprising feat of two consecutive promotions, thus reachingSerie B in June 2011 as league champions. In June 2011, he left Gubbio to become the new head coach atBari, again at the Serie B level.[1]
On 13 December 2018, he signed withSerie C clubSicula Leonzio.[2] He left Sicula Leonzio at the end of the 2018–19 season.

On 13 December 2022, Torrente was hired as the new head coach of Serie C clubPadova.[5] He was dismissed on 8 April 2024 after failing to win automatic promotion with his club for two consecutive seasons, withMassimo Oddo being appointed to replace him for the playoff phase.[6]
