The European Cup Winner Bringing Women’s Football Dream to Monaco
Marco Simone, the former Italian striker, is setting his sights high with his new venture, Monaco United. Despite the team starting in the fifth tier, Simone’s ambitions are anything but modest.
In France, women’s football has long been a powerhouse, largely thanks to Lyon’s dominance in the Champions League. Paris Saint-Germain has been a formidable domestic rival, but the landscape is evolving. Paris FC is on the rise, and with Lens and Marseille joining the top division for the 2025-26 season, the competition is heating up.
Yet, Monaco remains a notable absence in the professional women’s football scene. This might soon change, and surprisingly, it’s not AS Monaco leading the charge. Enter Monaco United, a fresh face in the game, spearheaded by none other than Marco Simone. With a resume boasting four Serie A titles and two Champions League victories with Milan, Simone is no stranger to success.
Monaco United’s journey begins in the fifth tier, but with Simone at the helm, the club is poised for an exciting future. His experience and vision could be the catalyst needed to put Monaco on the women’s football map.
