Frédéric Sammaritano (born 23 March 1986 in Vannes) is a French professional football player who plays for Dijon FCO.

Career

Sammaritano spent three seasons at Vannes OC. In his last campaign with Vannes, he converted 3 goals and added 7 assists. His good performances in Ligue 2 lead many to be interested in securing his signature. Sammaritano joined AJ Auxerre who finished in third spot during the 2009-10 Ligue 1 season, qualifying for Champions Leagut football. In the 2010–11 UEFA Champions League, he scored against Ajax Amsterdam in a game his team ended up winning 2-1.[1] Sammaritano found life in Burgundy difficult, starting just 10 Ligue 1 fixtures, adding only one league goal and three assists.[2]

In July 2011 Sammaritano signed for newly promoted AC Ajaccio on a free transfer.[3] He made his debut for the club in their 2-0 loss to Toulouse FC on the opening day of the 2011-12 Ligue 1 campaign.[4] Sammaritano scored against French powerhouse Lyon on 13 August 2011 putting his side 1-0 up at the Stade de Gerland. His first goal since November 2010 did not prove enough though as Lisandro Lopez scored late on. But his side were able to hold on for a 1-1 draw, earning their first point of the season.[5] In the following round of fixtures on 20 August Ajaccio played host to Evian Thonon in Corsica, Sammaritano netted in the 7th minute after being fed in by Johan Cavalli to give the hosts a 1-0 lead.[6]

On 5 March 2015, he scored the decisive goal in a penalty shootout as Auxerre defeated Brest in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France,[7] and he scored the only goal as they defeated holders Guingamp in the semi-finals on 7 April[8]

Dijon FCO

Sammaritano signed a 2-year contract with Dijon FCO after the expiration of his Auxerre contract.[9]
