Club career
Monaco
Born in Meaux, France, Tisserand began his career at INF Clairefontaine before leaving for Monaco when he was thirteen.
In June 2013, he signed his first professional contract with Monaco, having spent four years at the reserve side. Following this, he was called up by the first team for the pre-season tour with Monaco by manager Claudio Ranieri. Ranieri was impressed with his ability in training and took him to the pre-season with the club. Tisserand made his professional debut at 10 August 2013 against Bordeaux in the first Ligue 1 game for AS Monaco in the 2013–14 season. On 5 October 2013, he made his first Monaco start, playing in the left–back position, in a 2–1 win over Saint-Étienne. On 19 December 2013, he signed a contract extension with the club, keeping him until 2018. However, he struggled in the first team, being relegated to the substitutes bench due to competition from Layvin Kurzawa and making six appearances in the 2013–14 season.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Marcel Tisserand”, the useful work is to connect “congolese-French association football player” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q15080254. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1993, 2013 and 2018.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
