About AS Monaco ( ASM )
There are some football clubs around the world that are related, historically at least, to royal families. Some additional clubs enjoy the support of members of royal families, but there is not a single football club, that can brag about the fact that a princess has designed its uniforms as AS Moncao can. For it was Grace Kelly, the princess of Monaco that has designed the diagonal shape jerseys of The Red and Whites. This royal touch, or as AS Monaco's fans later named as the 'lucky diagonal', has put the club on the golden path to success, winning them the first French championship in the 1960-1961 season. This design is still apparent on the club's current jerseys. With 7 national championships, 5 French Cups, 1 French Legue Cup and 4 French Super Cups AS Monaco is considered as one of the most successful football clubs in France.
The club that carries the name Association Sportive de Monaco Football Club, was founded in 1924, in a merge of five different sports clubs (one of them was the football club of Herculis, established in 1903). The club became professional in 1933 but later declined to play again in amateur leagues. In 1948 it regained its professional status. Supported by Prince Rainier III who got in position in 1949, the club ascended to the first French division in 1953.
1958 is yet another important year in the time line of ASM. In that year, Lucien Leduc a former player in the French league and quite a beginner in training, had begun to train the team and soon after, the club started winning important titles. First national title to be won was the French Cup in 1960. This win was followed by the 1961 championship and a historical Double in 1963. After that season, Leduc left the club, taking the winners' touch with him. The club hadn't won any title for 15 years, and was teetering between the first and the second division, until it won the 1977-1978 season's championship. This win, in a first season after promotion to the first league and again under Leduc's guidance who had come to train the club in 1976, has reinforced Leduc's aura of a legend among Monaco's fans. This title was the first in many for AS Monaco in the presidency of Jean-Louis Campora who held the position for 28 years (1975-2003).
Other successful trainers in the history of the club are Arsène Wenger (1987-1994), Jean Tigana (1995-1999) and Didier Deschamps (2001-2005). Under Wenger's management Monaco won a championship in 1988 and a French Cup in 1991. But, his major achievement was to establish ASM status in European football, reaching the Cup Winners' Cup semi finals in 1990, being the runner up of this tournament in 1992 and getting to the semi finals of the Champions League in 1994. Tigana, one of the most appreciated French footballl players of all times, (being part of "the Magic Square" - (le Carré Magique) of France in the mid 1980's) added a national championship and a French Super Cup in 1997. He continued Wenger's success of leading Monaco into the final stages of the European tournaments with appearances in the semi finals of the Europe League in 1997 and the semi finals of the Champions League in 1998. With Didier Deschamps, Captain of the World Champion National team in 1998 and current manager of the national team, Monaco didn't win important titles (except the French League Cup title in 2003 which was its last title to be won so far) but was a serious contender in all tournaments, including the most prestigious of them all, the Champions League, in which it succumbed to José Mourinho's Porto in the final of 2004. Monaco played a very attractive football, gaining supporters all over the world and beating giants like Real Madrid and Chelsea in the quarter and semi finals.
Ever since this remarkable achievement the club went from bad to worse getting into financial difficulties and relegations to the second division. in December 2011, Russian multi millionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev became the president of the club and began investing a lot of money in it. In the last couple of years ASM was involved in two of the biggest trades in the history of football, which involved the current best Colombian players: the buy of Radamel Falcao from Atletico Madrid for 51 million Euros in 2013 and the sale of James Rodriguez to Real Madrid for 63 Million Euros in 2014.
Some great players have played for AS Monaco a long its history, some of them are known as prominent figures in the history of French football such as: Michel Hidalgo, Argentinian Delio Onnis (with 223 goals a club record), goal keeper Jean-Luc Ettori, (with 754 games 602 in the league a club record), Bruno Bellone, Bernard Genghini, English Glenn Hoddle, Patrick Battiston, Manuel Amoros, German Jurgen Klinsmann, Emmanuel Petit, Lilian Thuram , George Weah, Youri Djorkaeff, David Trezeguet, Thierry Henry, Italian Marco Simone, Fabien Barthez, Mexican Rafael Marquez, Norwegian John Arne Riise, Ludovic Giuly, Spaniard Fernando Morientes, Burundian Shabani Nonda and Patrice Evra are main figures in a list of about 600 players who have played for the club.
