In 2008, he joined Envigado and was a top prospect for the club scoring 18 goals in 24 matches with the reserve team.

Montreal announced in December 2012 that Montaño would not return for the 2013 season.[8]

In July 2014, Montaño rejoined his first professional club Quilmes in Argentine Primera División.[9]

Miguel Montano joined Victoria Hotspurs after trials in the BOV Premier League in Malta during the summer months. Montano was very present throughout September in the first matches of the Gozo Championship 2015/2016.[10]
