Joseph "Pepe" Montemurro is an Australian former football (soccer) player and the Chief Assistant Coach of Melbourne City.
Joseph Montemurro was born in Melbourne, Victoria.
Montemurro spent his entire junior playing career at Juventus (Brunswick Juventus) and made his first senior appearance for the club in 1986 in the National Soccer League as a 16-year-old. He was also a member of the Victorian State Youth team between 1986-88 which won 2 national titles.
In 1987,he was offered a scholarship at the AIS (Australian Institute of Sport) in which he declined to remain at Brunswick Juventus. In 1988, he was spotted by Swiss Club Nauchatel Xamax and offered the opportunity to remain in Europe. From there he passed onto Italian C2 Club A.S.D. R. Potenza before spending the bulk of his career at A.C.D. Treviso in Serie C2.
He returned to Australia in 1996 and resumed playing in the Victorian State leagues and embarked on his coaching education
His first coaching positions commenced at his former junior club Brunswick Juventus. His first major role was as youth coach (U21) in the Victorian Premier league with Green Gully in which he took the team to a runners up position in his first year.
In the 2002-03 season Montemurro took over the youth team at Melbourne Knights in the National Soccer League in which he guided the team to a Southern Division Championship. The team lost the playoff to become National Youth Champions. The demise of the National League came and the club offered Montemurro the senior position in the Victorian Premier League. He opted to continue his youth coaching at cross town rivals South Melbourne FC in which he guided the team to a runners up position in 2005.
Mid 2006, with the team sitting clear at the top of the ladder, Montemurro was approached by Sunshine Georgies to take over the 1st team and save it from relegation. He succeeded and continued his position until mid 2007 and parted ways with the club. His next role was head coach of Coburg United (Hume City) in Victorian State League 1 in which he guided the club to its first ever promotion to top flight football in the club's 30-year history.
In 2010, he returned to South Melbourne as Youth coach and guided the team to a historic undefeated season as champions. He was promoted to assistant senior coach at South Melbourne in which VPL finals appearances and the quarter finals of the Singapore Cup were achievements during his involvement. He then took over new Franchise club Port Moresby FC in PNG in which he guided it to qualification to the OFC Champions league 2013.
