Jean-François Grimaldi (born 14 July 1988) is a French professional footballer who plays for Gallia Club Lucciana in the Championnat National 3.
Club career[edit]
Born in Bastia, Grimaldi started his career with his hometown club SC Bastia, at the time a Ligue 2 club. In 2009, he was called up by Bernard Casoni and made his debut in a 2–0 loss to Dijon FCO.[1] He left the club at the end of the season, joining fourth-division club Sporting Toulon Var.
Only a year after, he returned to Bastia, this time with CA Bastia.[2] In three years, Grimaldi helped his new club gain promotion from the fourth tier to the second level of French football.[3]
When CA Bastia merged with Borgo FC in 2017, Grimaldi remained at the newly formed club, FC Bastia-Borgo.
International career[edit]
In January 2008 he was called up for a training camp with the French under-21 futsal team for a 4-day camp.[4]
Grimaldi, born in Corsica, is eligible to the unofficial Corsica national team and played his first game in 2009, against Congo in a 1-1 draw in Ajaccio.
