Bay FC announced that head coach Albertin Montoya will step down at the end of the 2025 campaign. Montoya became the club’s first-ever head coach, guiding Bay FC through their debut season in the NWSL.
Montoya previously worked with the Washington Spirit, the U.S. U17 Women’s National Team, and FC Gold Pride, among others. In his first season with Bay FC, he led the expansion side to 11 regular-season wins, setting a new NWSL record for victories by an expansion team.
The club will now begin the search for a new head coach, with Kay Cossington leading the process. She has already been working closely with Sporting Director Matt Potter and Bay FC’s technical staff to help guide the next phase of the club’s development.

“I have so much love for these players, staff, and fans. We’ve built a culture and a style of play that I believe will compete for championships for years to come. I want to thank everyone at the Bay FC organization for their support. I look forward to finishing this season strong and for this club continuing to accomplish great things.”
What the Chair of Bay FC, Alex Waxman, had to say
“I want to thank Albertin for his leadership and dedication in helping launch this club and establish its foundation during our startup phase.
