"I'm excited by the challenge and I am really looking forward to working with the talented staff and players at this great club."
Montemurro led Melbourne City Women to the Westfield League title in their first year of existence in 2015/2016 and also played a critical role last season as Melbourne claimed back-to-back titles.
The 48-year old is expected to be in charge of the Gunners for the first time on Saturday when Arsenal host Sunderland Ladies.
