Ailier gauche. Un des plus doué de sa génération, mais fragile. 3 sélections A en 1973 et 1974. Il a traversé des périodes noires, mais j’espère que maintenant tout est terminé. C’est un vrai gaucher, un ailier qui ne cesse de progresser, et si je dois lui faire un reproche, c’est de ne pas utiliser assez son exceptionnelle frappe du gauche pour tirer au but. Il devrait causer des ravages.

Christian Sarramagna was a player with superb technique, who was able to cross… without overflowing. His magical left foot made him a formidable winger to whom he only missed a more suitable physique at a very high level. From his eight years of professionalism at Saint-Etienne, we can retain three titles of Champion of France and three Cups of France. Despite fierce competition from Malian striker Salif Keita, then Yves Triantafilos or even the Revelli brothers, he has always known how to make a place for himself in the Stéphane attack. Often injured, he participated despite everything in most of the major European matches of the Greens during the 1970s, until the final in Glasgow where he was the holder. During this blessed time, Sarramagna even managed to climb into the French team. He was to be on the trip to the 1978 Argentine World Cup but an injury deprived him of it, which sounded the death knell of his high-level career. After 1979, his career took him to Montpellier for three years. He then embarked on a coaching career at the head of clubs such as ASSE, FC Martigues or CS Sedan-Ardennes and the national team of Mali on two occasions.
