Coaching career
High school ranks
Monteverde first coached in the high school level at Saint Stephen's High School in 1991. During this time, his assistant was Bonnie Tan, future NCAA winning coach of Letran Knights. Monteverde coached the "A" team of the school starting in 1993, and led them to five Metro Manila Tiong Lian Basketball League titles in the next decade. He then coached Chiang Kai-shek College in the MMTLBL and also led them into championships.Monteverde coached the Adamson Baby Falcons and created a winning culture, with the Baby Falcons qualifying on his first season in 2015, then missing the playoffs in 2016. In 2017, Adamson won 13 games in 2016, but the UAAP reversed those wins as the league ruled Adamson player Encho Serrano to be ineligible, eliminating them from contention.
Monteverde then replaced Jeff Napa as NSNU Bullpups head coach. He led the Bullpups to three Finals appearances and two UAAP Juniors basketball championships from 2018 to 2020. He was elevated to the seniors' NU Bulldogs team in May 2020. However, several players from the Bulldogs parted ways with the team, all with the blessing of Monteverde. Weeks later, Monteverde resigned as Bulldogs coach without coaching a game.
