Carlos Fernando Navarro Montoya (born 26 February 1966) is an Argentine retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper. During a professional career which spanned 25 years, he represented teams in Argentina, Colombia, Spain, Chile, Brazil and Uruguay, appearing for 15 clubs (mainly Boca Juniors) and totalling more than 800 games across all competitions. ==Club career== Nicknamed ''El Mono'' (monkey) whilst in Argentina, Navarro Montoya was born in Medellín, Colombia, and he started playing professionally in the former country at only 18, with Club Atlético Vélez Sarsfield. In 1988, after one year in his homeland with Independiente Santa Fe, he joined Boca Juniors, where he would rarely miss a game in nearly ten years – never played in less than 35 matches in his full seasons – also setting club records of consecutive games (180) and minutes without conceding a goal (824), and eventually appearing in 396 official games for the ''Xeneizes''. His last appearance, however, ended in defeat, 1–3 at Club Atlético Banfield.〔(Adiós y gracias, Mono (Goodbye and thank you, ''Mono'') ); Esto es Boca 〕 In January 1997, aged almost 31, Montoya joined CF Extremadura in La Liga, suffering relegation with that and his following two teams, CP Mérida and CD Tenerife, also in the first division. After a brief spell in Chile with Club Deportes Concepción, he returned to Argentina and played top flight football for Chacarita Juniors, Club Atlético Independiente〔(El Mono Navarro Montoya, nuevo portero de Independiente (''Mono'' Navarro Montoya, new Independiente goalkeeper) ); Fichajes, 15 January 2004 〕 (after the promotion of youngster Óscar Ustari, the 39-year-old did not see his contract renewed) and Club de Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata, during five seasons combined. Montoya rarely settled with a team in the following years, playing in his country of adoption but also in Brazil and Uruguay. On 10 July 2009, at the age of 43, he announced his retirement from professional football, stating: "It is 'goodbye', but also 'thank you'".〔(Un grande del arco dijo adiós (Big name between the posts retires) ); Goal Planet, 13 July 2009 〕 Montoya's first manager experience was in Chacarita Juniors, from where he was sacked after only one win in six matches.〔(Final para el corto ciclo de Navarro Montoya en Chacarita (Short spell of Navarro Montoya in Chacarita comes to an end) ); Minuto Uno, 28 May 2013 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carlos Navarro Montoya」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
