Víctor Hugo Montaño
Revealed during the 2003 U20 World cup, in which he played for Colombia, Víctor Hugo Montaño arrived in France in 2004. After scoring fifty goals in a bit more than 60 games in his home country with his club of Los Millonarios, Montaño indeed signed a contract for Istres, freshly promoted to Ligue 1. Although he managed to gain some playing time (33 games, including 11 starts), he finished the season with only 2 goals to his tally. While Istres was relegated at the end of the season, the Colombian joined Montpellier, then in Ligue 2. Again, his debuts were difficult, with only 12 goals in 88 games for his first three seasons. But the following two years would reveal his ability, with 15 goals scored in 2008-2009 and 11 in 2009-2010. His performances eventually caught the eye of the Stade Rennais, then looking for a substitute to Jimmy Briand.
