The French football club, Olympique Lyonnais Féminin has announced the appointment of Joe Montemurro as their new head coach. Montemurro, who previously managed Juventus and Arsenal women’s team, will take charge on July 4th and has signed a two-year deal with the team. This announcement comes after Lyon lost the Women’s Champions League final to Barcelona.
In a statement to the media, Montemurro expressed his excitement about joining the club, stating, “I am extremely honoured to be part of such an exceptional organization as Olympique Lyonnais, the world leader in women’s football. When I think of Lyon, I think of high level professionalism and excellence. Facing this team always represented the pinnacle of football for me. It has always brought me joy and inspiration.”
Montemurro’s experience and success at top clubs make him a valuable addition to the team. He is set to bring a new perspective and strategy to Lyon as they look to reclaim their position as one of the best women’s football clubs in the world.
Olympique Lyonnais recently parted ways with Sonia Bompastor, who moved to Chelsea to replace Emma Hayes. With Montemurro on board, Lyon is poised for success as they continue their journey in women’s football.
