Joe Montemurro may have lifted the Continental Tyres Cup last term, but says his biggest priority in his first season in charge was restoring the Arsenal DNA.
The former Melbourne City coach has encouraged a free-flowing brand of football that’s seen him lose just three games since joining the club lastNovember - and now he wants to take us to the very top of European football.
“Last season was a massive learning curve for me, both culturally and having to combat different styles, different systems and different ways of playing week-in, week-out,” Montemurro told Arsenal.com.
“I had to adapt a little bit more and change certain things, but the most important thing for me was to bring back the Arsenal DNA, the Arsenal way of playing, and an identity and integrity that represents this great badge.
