Manila Montet Football Club is a Philippines professional football club based in Manila, Metro Manila. The club currently plays in the Philippines Football League, the top-flight league of football in the Philippines.
The club is owned by The Montet Group, under the management of Thomas Vivian Montet, a French businessman who recently moved to Philippines.[3]
In 2023, it was reported that Manila Montet was applying for a license to be able to join the Philippines Football League for the 2024 season.[4] In February 2024, the league confirmed their participation making their first ever debut in the top-flight league.[5] Manila Montet are planning to field an all Filipino squad for their debut season in the league.
However the club would be plagued by allegations of mismanagement including financial compensations for its players.[6]
Head coach Eliezer Fabroada would leave after their 1–4 lost in their first game against One Taguig. His deputy, Mark Dennis Balbin would be promoted but also leave his position for a new role in futsal in Tondo. Another player was made into a coach.[6]
