If Montemurro does come in it’s almost certain that he’d be arriving with a significant mandate. Unlike the last time the Matildas were in the market for a coach, when he lost out to Tony Gustavsson, the 55-year-old has significant leverage this time around, with Football Australia absolutely needing him far more than he needs them.
This would likely see him able to bring in plenty of his own staff – his current assistant at Lyon Joe Palatsides was just pictured on the Paramount+ coverage and would likely be one – as well as the power to run things his own way.
