Montoya joins Bay FC, the NWSL's expansion team, after serving a brief stint as interim coach of the Washington Spirit in 2022.
Montoya’s roots run deep in Northern California, having moved to the area from Cuba when he was six years old. He grew up in Mountain View and played professionally in the area in the 1990s. He also played collegiately at Santa Clara University.
Montoya also coached collegiately at Santa Clara and Stanford and founded the Montoya Soccer Academy in 2002 with his wife, Erin, a former professional player who played for Santa Clara. At the international level, Montoya coached the U.S. women’s U-17 team, leading them to a CONCACAF championship in 2012.
“I’ve been around for quite some time, so I know the players that are around the league that have the Bay Area ties,” Montoya said, with a smile. “And if things come together the way we see it, we’d like to bring in some of the local talent that’s playing in other places around the league, and maybe do more of a Bay Area team. But we’ll see.”
