Arrived last summer on the OL bench as Sonia Bompastor’s successor, the first foreign coach in the history of the Rhone club should make his suitcases by the end of the season, according to the Team.
Like Fabrice Abriel (laid down by PSG and replaced by Paulo Cesar), it is the exit that seems to wait for Joe Montemurro at OL. Passed from Juventus Turin to Women’s OL last summer, the 55 -year -old Australian technician should not be on the bench until June 2026, as planned by his contract. Presumably, the technician should pay the mixed, even downright failed season of his team, humiliated by Arsenal in the semi-finals of the Champions League (2-1, 1-4), and eliminated by Reims in the 16th finals of the French Cup (0-0, 9-10 at TAB).
A future as a coach of Australia?
According to information from our team colleagues, the departure of the Australian technician at the end of the season is already acted, even before playing the semi-finals of the Arkema Plas-Offs first league against Dijon on Saturday. Joe Montemurro will be on the bench for this deadline, but it remains to be seen whether this will be the case during a possible final against the qualified of the half between PSG and Paris FC. Presumably, OL would have already drawn up a short of successors. Montemurro should return to the country, still according to the sports daily. The former coach of Melbourne City is expected on the bench the Australian selection, now ten months from the Asian Nations Cup, which will take place in the country.
“We have a season to finish with a goal to seek the title of champion of France, it is very important for us. I also know that eliminations in the Coupe de France and in the Champions League are unacceptable for this club and I take full responsibility. We must make sure that it does not happen anymore, “he said after elimination against Arsenal. Even a title of champion of Arkema First League, which would be the fourth consecutive of OL and his first person in a personal capacity, will not save him.
