BREAKING NEWSLyon boss Joe Montemurro set to be announced as the next permanent Matildas manager

Joe Montemurro is set to be announced as head coach of Australia women’s national team.

The 55-year-old Australian is currently the head coach of French club Lyon women, who were knocked out of the Champions League semi-final by Arsenal.

And Mail Sport understands that the 55-year-old signed the contract before the defeat to his former side over a week ago.

Montemurro, who began his managerial career as a youth coach in Australia, was appointed Lyon boss following the departure of Sonia Bompastor to Chelsea in June last year on a two-year contract.
