"Montoya had previously alluded to joining Bay FC in a youth-facing role after the club announced he was stepping down as head coach late last season. He told this news organization that Bay FC offered him the role of director of coaching for the club's future youth academy, but he declined, citing a desire to spend more time coaching and watching his son Michael, a junior soccer player at Mountain View High."
"Last week, Mountain View Los Altos (MVLA) Soccer Club, where Montoya has a long history, announced him as the club's new sporting director in an Instagram post, saying, "He's home." Michael Montoya also plays for MVLA, and Albertin Montoya will now coach him in his upcoming club season, the final one of his youth career. "If I was with Bay FC, I would not be able to do that," the elder Montoya said."
"Montoya said last fall that his planned role at Bay FC would not be directly tied to any particular youth club, including MVLA, which has traditionally been the top girls soccer club in the Bay Area and one of the best in the country. Whether there is a direct or indirect partnership, it's a safe bet that MVLA and Bay FC will continue to be linked in the years ahead."
Albertin Montoya will not join Bay FC's front office for the upcoming season. Bay FC offered him the director of coaching role for the club's future youth academy, but he declined to spend more time coaching and watching his son Michael, a junior at Mountain View High. Mountain View Los Altos (MVLA) Soccer Club named Montoya its sporting director, where he will coach Michael during the final youth season. Montoya previously resigned as Bay FC head coach after an investigation into the club's culture; he was cleared, though the probe found shortcomings in his communication and recommended corrective actions. MVLA and Bay FC remain closely linked.
