Marco Simone on Monaco United’s ambitious rise from the fifth tier
Oct 08 2026 12:47 · By onefootball.com · 121 Reads
Marco Simone, a 1994 Champions League winner with AC Milan, is steering Monaco United’s ascent in the women’s game. According to L'Équipe, the Principality club he founded, chairs and coaches began in the fifth tier and has emerged brimming with ambition.
Their first District season yielded 254 goals, a breathless return that left as many laughs as lessons.
Simone says that two years ago he effectively served as a virtual coach for Paris Saint-Germain Women. His delivery is animated, his suit immaculate, a few rebellious hairs pointing skywards.
He was pictured on 16 May last year at the Didier Deschamps stadium, close to Louis-II.
From a modest launchpad, Monaco United now present themselves as an unusual newcomer in the women’s game, pairing high standards with everyday constraints.
