The first game in Ukraine he played on 9 April 2001 in Mykolaiv against the local team playing in the First League. The Armymen lost it 0:2.

Beside playing on the professional level Sangaré also participated in the Kiev Oblast championship playing for FC Hran Buzova, for which he participated in the national amateur competitions as well.
Seeing that CSKA will not make to the Vyscha Liha, in the fall of 2006 he signed with Moldovan FC Nistru Otaci that played in the Divizia Naţională. After playing 46 games and scoring another 5 goals Sangaré, nevertheless, returned to Ukraine signing in January 2008 with another club of Persha liha FC Desna Chernihiv.
