Bio

A UEFA Pro licensed and Football Australia / AFC A Licensed coach, Montemurro’s appointment as head coach marks a full circle moment for the Melbourne-born coach, who began his women’s football coaching career at Melbourne Victory FC and Melbourne City FC. His first taste of success came in the 2015/16 season as he guided City to an undefeated championship-winning season in the A-League Women competition.

He then made history in 2017 as the first Australian to manage Arsenal’s Women’s Team, lifting multiple trophies during his tenure, including the Women’s Super League during the 2018/19 season.

In 2021, Montemurro joined Juventus Women, where success continued to follow as he led them to the Serie A title in the 2021/22 season, several domestic cup triumphs, and a rise in continental competitiveness. 2024 saw him appointed as head coach of European powerhouse Olympique Lyon, where this year he was at the helm as they claimed the 2024/25 domestic league title in France.
