SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA — In news that has rocked the NFL to its core, the San Francisco 49ers have officially confirmed the return of legendary quarterback Joe Montana to the organization after years of silence. But this time, the four-time Super Bowl champion isn’t suiting up to throw passes — he’s stepping into a role even more powerful than his Hall of Fame playing days.
“Joe Montana isn’t just back — he’s here to help shape the future of the 49ers,” said 49ers CEO Jed York in a packed press conference this morning.

According to official team sources, Joe Montana will join the 49ers as Executive Football Advisor and Culture Strategist, a newly crafted position that gives the NFL legend a voice in key organizational decisions — from quarterback development to game philosophy and even locker room leadership building.
While Montana had stayed relatively quiet in recent years, sources say negotiations to bring him back began months ago behind closed doors. The organization wanted to bring in a legend who not only understands the team’s DNA but can mentor rising stars and instill a championship mindset.
