Perspective
Club career
Montano started his career as a youngster in BK Skjold, before switching to B.93 at the age of 11.[2] Here he played his way up through the club's youth academy and later became a regular member of the club's senior squad. Montano made his debut for B.93 as a 17-year-old on March 1, 2017, against F.C. Copenhagen in a Danish Cup match.[3] After his debut, Montano was firmly promoted to the first team and quickly became an important player for the Danish 2nd Division squad, where he proved to be a goal-scoring midfielder.
On July 4, 2019, Danish 1st Division club Vejle Boldklub confirmed that they had signed Montano on a deal until June 2023, effective from January 2020.[4][5] In his first six months he played 8 games, scoring 3 goals and 1 assist, contributing to Vejle's promotion to the 2020-21 Danish Superliga. After promotion to the Danish Superliga, playing time became more scarce for Montao: 6 appearances in the league and 3 matches in the cup tournament with 2 goals. In search of more playing time, Montano was loaned out to Danish 1st Division club FC Fredericia on February 1, 2021.[6] Here Montano scored 3 goals in 13 games.[7]
On September 1, 2021, Montao joined Esbjerg fB on a contract until June 2025.[8] In the 2023–24 season, Montano was converted to left-back. Before then, Montano had always played in the offensive positions, from striker, to winger, to midfielder.[9]
