Coaching Sessions

Collective defending principles

Collective defending principles

Defending
This session is all about collective defending principles, focusing on team organisation when pressing from the front and defensive organisation when the press is beaten by the opposition.
Attacking in central areas

Attacking in central areas

Attacking
This session is about identifying opportunities to play forwards in central areas. It shows players how to create central overloads and encourages them to face forward to play forward effectively. The session is designed to help players recognise certain cues, such as when to invite pressure in order to create space further up the pitch and this helps to set up goal scoring opportunities.

Biography

Joe Montemurro was a midfielder during a playing career that was mainly spent in Italy, before returning to his home country of Australia to play in the Victorian state leagues. He began coaching in youth football for various clubs in Victoria, before taking up his first managerial role with Sunshine George Cross. He later managed Coburg United. 


His first coaching job abroad came in 2013, when he spent four months as the inaugural manager of Papua New Guinean side Port Moresby. From 2014 to 2017, he managed the women’s sides of Melbourne Victory and Melbourne City, and then replaced Pedro Martínez Losa as manager of Arsenal. 


With the Gunners he won the League Cup in his first season and the league title in his second. He was also voted LMA Women’s Manager of the Year in 2019. 


In 2021, Montemurro became manager of Juventus Women and led the team to a Serie A and Coppa Italia double in his first season.
