Former Melbourne City coach Joe Montemurro will become the first Australian to coach at Wembley when his Arsenal side face Chelsea in the FA Women's Cup.
Arsenal sealed their path to the final with a 2-1 win over Everton earlier this month.

They will have the opportunity to lift the trophy for a record 15th time next Saturday, May 5 but Chelsea stand in their way.
Chelsea are currently ladder leaders of the FA WSL 1 and saw off the reigning 2016-17 FA Cup winners Manchester City 2-0 to reach the final.
It is set to be Montemurro second major final since taking over as coach in November 2017 after overcoming Manchester City to win the WSL Continental Cup.
No other Australian coach has coached at Wembley before with only five Australian players having played in an FA Cup Final.Â
