'''Athanasios "Sakis" Prittas''' ([[Greek language|Greek]]: Αθανάσιος "Σάκης" Πρίττας; born 9 January 1979) is a Greek former professional [[association football|footballer]] who played as a [[midfielder]].

==Club career==
Prittas began his career in [[Poseidon Michaniona]]s. In [[Michaniona]] he played 34 matches and scored 4 goals, amongst them a famous goal to eliminate [[AEK Athens]] in the [[Greek Cup]]. He then moved to [[Skoda Xanthi F.C.]] where he stayed from 1999 to 2005. He established himself as one of the key players in the team, playing in 97 league games and scoring 5 goals. In 2005, Prittas moved to Salonica to play for [[Iraklis F.C.|Iraklis]] where he stayed for 2 seasons before moving to city rivals [[Aris Thessaloniki F.C.|Aris]]. He has played about 80 matches and scored 2 goals in the yellow-black jersey. He is loved special from the team's fans. For many, he is the ''leader'' in center. He is good at passing and marking-heading, and he is very passioned in every game, something who makes him dear for the fans. But in November 2011, he stayed out from team's mission for 3 consecutive matches, and has problems with coach [[Michal Probierz]]. He also made things harder, when in one interview, he said public what he felt.
