The Washington Spirit announced this morning that they had selected Albertin Montoya as their Interim Head Coach for the remaining five games of the 2022 season.
Montoya previously served as Head Coach of the the United States Women’s National Under-17s Team from 2011-2012, apparently his most recent experience coaching at a professional level. He also worked with Spirit players Kelley O’Hara and Nicole Barnhart as Head Coach of Women’s Professional Soccer’s (WPS) FC Gold Pride from 2009-2010, an experience that may have contributed to his appointment to the Interim position.
He is currently the Technical Director and Director of Coaching at Mountain View Los Altos youth Soccer Club.
