Club career

Growing through the youth ranks of Pescara, Delle Monache started playing with the Primavera team in 2021–22  [ it ], [3] before making his professional debut for the club on 15 September 2021, replacing Eugenio D'Ursi during a 2–0 Coppa Serie C home win against Grosseto. [5] [6] [8]

Having become a regular starter with the under-19, as he displayed an important attacking contribution, [4] delivering a brace of assists during a 3–1 victory to Napoli, [9] he played his first Serie C game on 22 January 2022, playing the last minutes of a 4–2 home win against Montevarchi. [10] [11]

The young player signed his first professional contract with the biggest club of Abruzzo in February 2022, making him a player of the Delfino until June 2024. [12]

On 5 August 2022, Delle Monache signed with Serie A club Sampdoria, but was immediately loaned back to Pescara for another season. [13]

On 31 January 2024, he joined Serie C club Vicenza on loan until the end of the season. [14] He helped the team reach the play-offs, where they eventually lost to Carrarese in the final. [15]
