NYCFC’s radical new coach is trying to build something big

Domenec Torrent

Domenec Torrent hasn’t touched his saxophone in seven years.

He would, if he could, but the New York City FC head coach is in a self-imposed exile. His time away from the saxophone stems from living in Munich, where he served for three years as an assistant to Pep Guardiola at Bayern Munich. He wanted to play, he loves to, so he thought his home was large enough that he wouldn’t bother anyone. But then his neighbors had a problem with it.

“In Munich, it’s impossible. … In Manchester, it was impossible,” Torrent said about playing his prized silver Suzuki alto saxophone.
