Carlos Alexandre Torres (born 22 August 1966), known as Alexandre Torres, is a Brazilian retired professional footballer who played as a defender. His father is former footballer Carlos Alberto Torres.
Torres played professionally in Brazil and Japan for Fluminense, Vasco da Gama and Nagoya Grampus Eight. At Nagoya Grampus he was signed by the manager Arsène Wenger, who seemed to recognise his agent's face from somewhere – bemused to find out it was his father and Brazil legend Carlos Alberto. [1]
Torres was called up to the Brazil national squad in 1992, making one international appearance. [2]

Carlos Alberto "Capita" Torres, also known as "O Capitão do Tri", was a Brazilian football player and manager who played as an attacking right-sided full-back or wing-back. A technically gifted defender with good ball skills and defensive capabilities, he is widely regarded as one of the best defenders of all time. He also stood out for his leadership, and was an excellent penalty taker. Nicknamed O Capitão, he captained the Brazil national team to victory in the 1970 World Cup, scoring the fourth goal in the final, considered one of the greatest goals in the history of the tournament.
