Aristote Lusinga (born 20 February 1990 in Nantes) is a French footballer who plays for French club US Avranches in the Championnat National. He primarily plays as a centre back, but can also be utilized as a full back.

Club career

Aristote was born in the commune of Dervallières, a suburb of Nantes. He joined his hometown club in 1998. During his time in the youth system, he excelled and earned caps with France's under-15 side and the under-16 side making his debut in the Tournio de Montaigu. On 28 May 2008, he signed his first professional contract with agreeing to a three-year deal with Nantes.[1]

Controversy

On 17 May 2008, Aristote was involved in an incident on the final day of the CFA 2007–08 season, while playing with the FC Nantes Reserves, against US Orléans. After receiving a yellow card, from referee Stéphane Jochem, in the 42nd minute, Aristote would later be cautioned again, prompting a send off. After having words, a very irritated Aristote headbutted Jochem.[2] Following the match, Aristote apologized and later sent an apology to the French Football Federation. Despite the remorse, the FFF suspended him from football for a period of two years, with one year being suspended.[3] He was still allowed to train with the club.

Aristote made his return a year later on 23 May 2009 in a CFA 2 match against US Avranches.[4] He made his league debut a week later on the final match day of the season against Auxerre appearing as a substitute in the 89th minute. Nantes won the match 2–1,[5] but still suffered relegation back to Ligue 2.

Lusinga is of Angolan descent.[6]
