It is now 14 months since the New York Red Bulls last had an Academy Director. Maybe.
On February 18th, 2016, the New York Red Bulls’ (now former) Sporting Director Ali Curtis announced a “restructuring of (the) youth development system”. It was a restructuring that most notably re-assigned long-time Academy Director Bob Montgomery to a new role: Director of Coaching and Education and Youth Partnerships; a position the club described as a sort tactician-at-large, helping “to ensure that the club’s philosophy, style of play and core principles stay consistent between all three platforms”.
