The club's early years were spent in the amateur regional divisions of the [[Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur]] [[Regions of France|region]], rising rapidly between the leagues in the 1920s. In 1933, Monaco were invited by the [[French Football Federation]] to turn professional. The Monégasques' [[1933–34 French Division 2|first year]] of [[Ligue 2|second -division football]] ended in failure, however, as they were relegated to the amateur leagues the following year. By 1948, Monaco re-acquired its professional status and returned to the French second division; they subsequently consistently finished in its upper echelons, with this sustained effort resulting in promotion to the French [[Ligue 1|first division]] for the first time in [[1952–53 French Division 2|1953]].

}}</ref> The club could have had even greater success in this period, as it emerged in 1993 that bitter rivals [[Olympique de Marseille|Marseille]] had indulged in match -fixing and numerous improprieties, a view that Wenger had long held.<ref name="rees-guardian"/>''[not mentioned by source]'' In 1994, after being blocked by the Monaco board from opening discussions with German powerhouse [[FC Bayern Munich|Bayern Munich]] for their vacant managerial post after being shortlisted for the role, Wenger was released from the club, several weeks after the post had already been filled.<ref name="rees-guardian"/><ref>''Arsène Wenger The Biography'' by Xavier Rivoire</ref>

After Wenger's departure, the club went on to record two further league championships; under [[Jean Tigana]] in [[1996–97 French Division 1|1997]] and under [[Claude Puel]] in [[1999–2000 French Division 1|2000]]. However, as the decade came to an end, rumours were surfacing that the club was facing numerous financial difficulties. In 2003, these financial problems came to a head. Despite finishing second in the league, the club was relegated to Ligue 2 by the French Professional League for amassing a €50 million ($68 million) debt.<ref name="SI-Lyttleton">{{cite web |url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/ben_lyttleton/01/22/monaco/index.html |title=Monaco struggling for survival |publisher=SI.com |date=23 January 2011 |access-date=24 April 2012 |archive-date=17 June 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120617231215/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/ben_lyttleton/01/22/monaco/index.html |url-status=livedead }}</ref> Whilst this was reduced on appeal to a ban on purchasing players, it was enough to force President Jean-Louis Campora, who had been in charge for 28 years, to step aside.

In December 2011, 66.67% of the club was sold to the [[Russian oligarch]] and billionaire [[Dmitry Rybolovlev]] (via a trust under his daughter [[Ekaterina Rybolovleva|Ekaterina]]'s name) while the club were bottom of Ligue 2.<ref name=BBC/> Banide was sacked due to this poor start to the [[2011–12 Ligue 2|2011–12 season]], and was replaced by Italian manager [[Marco Simone]]. Although he lifted the club to eighth by the end of the season, the club's board targeted promotion for the upcoming season and so fired him and appointed his compatriot [[Claudio Ranieri]], whose attacking style of football saw the club score 64 goals in the [[2012–13 Ligue 2|2012–13 season]]. With the club only losing four times, Monaco finished the season as champions, earning promotion back to [[Ligue 1]]. Using Rybolovlev's funds, Monaco were one of the biggest spenders in Europe in 2013, spending roughly £140 million, including a club-record £50 million for [[Radamel Falcao]] from [[Atlético Madrid]] and £40 million for [[James Rodríguez]] from [[FC Porto]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Radamel Falcao: Monaco sign striker from Atletico Madrid|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22737856|access-date=2 April 2014|newspaper=[[BBC Sport]]|date=31 May 2013|archive-date=10 November 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131110013354/http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22737856|url-status=live}}</ref> Monaco finished in 2nd place in Ligue 1 in the [[2013–14 AS Monaco FC season|2013–14 season]] and Ranieri was replaced by [[Leonardo Jardim]]. The following season, Monaco cut expenses, selling Rodriguez to [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]] for €75m and loaning Falcao to [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]]. Despite the high-profile departures, Monaco finished in 3rd place in Ligue 1 and made it to the quarter-finals of the [[2014–15 UEFA Champions League|Champions League]], defeating [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] in the Round of 16 before exiting at the hands of [[Juventus FC|Juventus]]. Top-scorer from the [[2013–14 AS Monaco FC season|2013–14 season]] [[Anthony Martial]], who managed 12 goals in all competitions, departing for Manchester United in the summer for a fee of €60m, the highest fee paid for a teenager in football history.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espn.com.au/soccer/soccer-transfers/story/2594161/anthony-martial-could-cost-man-united-57-6-million-monaco|title=Martial could cost United £57.6m - Monaco|date=2015-09-03|website=ESPN.com|language=en|access-date=2018-12-06|archive-date=6 December 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181206145254/http://www.espn.com.au/soccer/soccer-transfers/story/2594161/anthony-martial-could-cost-man-united-57-6-million-monaco|url-status=live}}</ref> This, combined with the sales of [[Geoffrey Kondogbia]], [[Layvin Kurzawa]], [[Yannick Carrasco]], [[Aymen Abdennour]], [[Lucas Ocampos]] and otherothers, saw the Monegasque club earn over €180m in the transfer window.

In the [[2016–17 UEFA Champions League]], Monaco staged a comeback in the Round of 16, losing the first leg 5–3 to [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]]<ref>{{Cite news|last=Jackson|first=Jamie|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/mar/14/pep-guardiola-manchester-city-win-champions-league-monaco|title=Pep Guardiola to stick with Manchester City's guns-blazing style at Monaco|date=2017-03-14|work=The Guardian|access-date=2020-02-26|language=en-GB|issn=0261-3077|archive-date=26 February 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200226174238/https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/mar/14/pep-guardiola-manchester-city-win-champions-league-monaco|url-status=live}}</ref> before beating the English side 3–1 at home to win on away goals. Monaco then defeated [[Borussia Dortmund]] 6–3 on aggregate before going down 4–1 over two legs to [[Juventus FC|Juventus]].

Monaco managed to finish 2nd in the [[2017–18 Ligue 1]], 13 points behind league winners PSG.
