Montemurro had played as a midfielder, mainly in Italy in the 1990s, before returning to Australia to play for Victorian State League teams. He began coaching in youth football for various Victorian clubs in 2002 and was promoted to men's teams by 2006. His first international posting was in 2013, as the inaugural manager of Papua New Guinean side, FC Port Moresby. From 2014 to 2017, he managed the women's sides of Melbourne Victory and then Melbourne City. He replaced Pedro Martínez Losa in 2017 as manager of Arsenal womens, where he won the league title in his second season. In 2021, Montemurro moved to Italy to manage Juventus Women, and in 2024, he became coach of the French side, Olympique Lyonnais Féminin. He won league titles at all three European clubs.
Playing career
[edit]Montemurro spent his entire junior playing career at Brunswick Juventus and made his first senior appearance for the club in 1986 in the National Soccer League as a 16-year-old.[3] He was also a member of the Victorian State Youth team between 1986–1988, which won two national titles.[4]
In 1987 he declined a scholarship at the Australian Institute of Sport, to remain at Brunswick Juventus. In 1988, he was spotted by Swiss club Neuchâtel Xamax youth team and accepted the opportunity to play in Europe in the following year.[5][6] After two years back at Brunswick, he transferred to Italian Serie C2 club Potenza before spending five years at Opitergina (1992–1996), in the Italian non-professional Leagues.[6][7]
Montemurro returned to Australia in 1996 and resumed playing in the Victorian State league teams while continuing his coaching education.[5][6] He has UEFA A and UEFA Pro Licences, which he attained in Florence, Italy,[1][8] alongside a Master of Sports Coaching from Queensland University.[5]
Managerial career
[edit]Early years coaching in Victoria
[edit]Montemurro retired from playing at age 28.[9] His first coaching position commenced at his former junior club Brunswick Juventus.[3] His first major role was as youth coach (U21) in the Victorian Premier league with Green Gully, which he took to the runner-up position in his first year.[3][5]
In the 2002–2003 season he took over the youth team at Melbourne Knights in the National Soccer League, which he guided to a Southern Division Championship.[10] The team lost the playoff for National Youth Champions.[10] The demise of the National League occurred and the club offered Montemurro the senior position in the Victorian Premier League.[3] He opted to continue his youth coaching with local rivals South Melbourne, which he guided to the runner-up position in 2005.[11]
In mid-2006, Montemurro was approached by Sunshine George Cross to take over their firsts team and save it from relegation.[12][13][14] He succeeded and continued his position until mid-2007.[12] His next role was head coach of Coburg United in Victorian State League 1, which he guided to their first ever promotion to top flight football in the club's 30-year history.[15]
In 2010, he returned to South Melbourne as a youth coach and guided that team to a historic undefeated season as champions.[3] He was promoted to assistant senior coach at South, in which VPL finals appearances and the quarter finals of the Singapore Cup were achieved during his tenure.[3] During 2013, he took over new franchise club FC Port Moresby in the Papua New Guinea National Soccer League.[3] The club finished third in the league, qualifying for the championship playoffs, where they reached the final, only to lose 3–0 to Hekari United.[16]
Melbourne Victory and Melbourne City
[edit]In 2014, Montemurro returned to Melbourne and was appointed National Training Centre head coach for women's football in Victoria.[9][8] He became head coach of the Melbourne Victory FC W-League on 16 May 2014,[17] and guided it to the runner-up position after the home and away fixture, the highest finish in the club's history.[5] The team lost the semi-final playoff on penalties to Canberra United.[18]
After the 2014 season, Montemurro left Victory to join local rivals Melbourne City taking up a position as the manager of their youth side.[19] Following City joining the W-League (renamed in 2021 as A-League Women) in 2015, Montemurro was appointed as head coach of their inaugural women's side.[17][20][21] In its maiden season, the City women were crowned 2015–16 W-League Premiers.[22][23][24] On 31 January 2016, City completed the double by defeating Sydney 4–1 in the grand final of the W-League Womens Championship.[25] W-League history was created as the team went the entire season winning every game, amassing 42 goals and conceding 5.[26][27]
In June 2016, Montemurro's role at City was expanded to include assisting John van 't Schip with the senior men's team.[28] His responsibilities changed in January 2017, becoming City's chief assistant coach under new manager Michael Valkanis, while relinquishing his W-League coaching role.[29]
Arsenal Women
[edit]In November 2017, Montemurro left Melbourne City to join Arsenal Women as manager, after Pedro Martínez Losa was sacked following a poor start to the season.[7][30][31] On 14 March 2018, he won his first major trophy with Arsenal by beating Manchester City 1–0 to win the FA Women's League Cup.[32] On 15 May 2018, he led Arsenal to the Women's FA Cup final in front of a record attendance of 45,423 at Wembley Stadium, in which they lost 3–1 to Chelsea.[33]
In August 2018, in his first full preseason in charge of Arsenal Women, the team were crowned champions of the Toulouse International Ladies Cup, beating UEFA Women's Champions League quarter-finalists Montpellier and holding Paris Saint Germain to a 2–2 draw.[7]
In the 2018–19 season, Arsenal became the first FA WSL team to win 9 games straight, amassing 42 goals and conceding five.[3] The winning streak came to an end when an injury stricken squad lost away to Manchester City.[34] The attacking style and fluidity of possession instilled by Montemurro won many accolades.[3] On 7 February 2019, the team reached its second consecutive Continental Cup League final, beating Manchester United 2–1 at Meadow Park.[35] After a scoreless draw in the final at Sheffield's Bramall Lane, the team was defeated 4–2 in a penalty shootout against Manchester City.[36] In the same month, Montemurro was nominated for Manager of the Year at the London Football Awards, alongside Maurizio Sarri and Mauricio Pochettino; he was the first coach from the WSL to be nominated for the Awards.[37] On 31 March, Arsenal qualified for the UEFA Women's Champions League after a five year absence, with a 1–0 win over Birmingham City.[38] In front of a record WSL crowd against Brighton & Hove Albion at the Falmer Stadium, goals from Vivianne Miedema, Katie McCabe, Beth Mead and Daniëlle van de Donk, secured the WSL title with a round in advance; it was Arsenal's first title since 2012.[39] The season was also capped off with Montemurro winning the WSL League Managers Association (LMA) Coach of the Year.[40]

[edit]On 8 June 2021, Montemurro was appointed head coach of Italian Serie A side Juventus Women.[46][47] Montemurro's first official match as Juventus' manager came on 18 August, in a 12–0 win against Macedonian Women's Football Championship side Kamenica Sasa in the semi-finals of the first round of UEFA Women's Champions League.[48] Montemurro's first trophy as Juventus coach came, the Supercoppa Italiana on 8 January 2022 after a 2–1 win against AC Milan.[49] The team went on to win the Serie A and Italian Cup completing the club's first ever treble winning season. The biggest achievement for the team in the 21/22 season was qualification to the quarter finals stage of the UEFA Women's Champions League.
