Much of Arsenal’s success has been credited to Australian manager Montemurro, who took charge in November 2017 and has since guided them to two League Cup finals and now the title.
The former Melbourne City assistant coach is a lifelong Arsenal fan and has described leading the club as “surreal”, but why have the players warmed to him so much?
“He’s a cool head amongst a fiery bunch. He keeps everything running smoothly,” Arsenal and England defender Leah Williamson told BBC Sport.
“He’s the perfect match for Arsenal and the perfect match for the group of players we have.
“The philosophy he has on the pitch is so strong, and the way he wants to play is so clear, that you always have something to fall back on.
“That’s important if sometimes games aren’t going well, or are going very well. You just stick to the plan, regardless. He also knows when you need to fight messy to win a game.
“He’s an unbelievable coach. The girls have so much respect for him and we all believe in the way he wants to play.”
