In February of 2016, the New York Red Bulls announced a restructuring of its youth development system. Included in that restructuring was the news that long-serving academy director, Bob Montgomery, would take on a new role as the Director of Coaching Education and Youth Partnerships. This transition would see him vacating his position as academy director, one he has held since 2007 when he took over from Giovanni Savarese when he left the club.
The announcement states, “The search for a new academy director will begin immediately.”
Since then, nothing. No announcement, not even a rumor.
