Luis Fernando Montoya
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Luis Fernando Montoya (born July 23, 1961) is a Colombian football manager.
Montoya coached Once Caldas leading the team to win the Colombian league for the first time in their history (apart from 1950 win) and the Copa Libertadores de América in 2004. Those achievements made Montoya the South American Coach of the Year.
In December of 2004 Montoya was left paralyzed after he got shot during an attempted robbery in Caldas, near Medellín, Colombia. [1]
A practicing Catholic, and full of tenacity, has become an example of permanent hope against paralysis for Colombians. He lives in Medellin with his son Jose Fernando and his wife Adriana.
