Championship winning Melbourne City W-League coach Joe Montemurro says the 2015/16 season has been a roaring success and hopes other clubs follow in City’s footprints with investment in the league.
City went through the season winning all 12 matches and then went on to win their two finals, taking their winning streak to a history-breaking 14.
“[We’ve set out] to make it pleasing on the eye. To make it an attractive game in terms of the way we play and then obviously get the results,” he said.
“We went about it giving professional athletes and female players what they deserve and that’s high standards and good conditions where they can ply their trade”
“It makes it a marketable product that people want to get interested in.”
He also admitted that star Scot Kim Little would not be returning next season but that the club has already been on the hunt for new players.
“We always knew she was only coming for one season,” he said.
“She hasn’t had a break in two and a half years.”
“We’re already in the process in looking at some [new] players and that began a while back.”
And on the debacle of the presentation, Montemurro replied, “I actually asked the question, can we turn it around? And all they said was television, television, television…”
