Frantzdy Pierrot says he wants FBI work after football

Haiti striker frantzdy pierrot says he wants to have an impact on society after his career and is considering joining the FBI. The 31-year-old forward explained that he studied criminology at Northeastern University in Boston, where he arrived at age 12. Haiti opens its World Cup campaign against Scotland on Sunday at 3 a.m.

Pierrot said the education choice was deliberate. He described it this way: "Ça ouvre énormément de portes d'avoir étudié cette matière." He also said, "J'ai toujours eu envie de protéger les gens, d'être une personne dont on sait qu'elle essaie de faire le bien."

He said the FBI has stayed in his mind for years: "C'est vrai que le FBI, c'est une des choses que je porte toujours en moi". He added that he could work as an ordinary police officer, continue training, enter an academy to become an FBI agent, or return to studies to become a lawyer.

The idea was not new when he spoke before traveling to the United States. From 2019 to 2022, while playing at Guingamp, he said he mentioned the FBI in a press conference. He also said he feels young even though he is already in his thirties, and that he wants to play football as long as possible.

For that part of his career, Cristiano Ronaldo remains his reference point. Pierrot said Ronaldo inspires him to keep playing and repeated his own plan in full: "Je veux jouer aussi longtemps que je peux, aussi longtemps que Dieu m'en donnera les moyens physiques. Je vais continuer à travailler, essayer de rester en forme, et tout ira bien".

Haiti in Boston

The timing gives the story a second layer. Boston is the city where Pierrot studied, and it is also where Haiti will begin its World Cup campaign. The match against Scotland on Sunday at 3 a.m. puts him back in a place tied to both halves of his life: football and the classroom.

For Haiti, the forward's plan points to what comes after the tournament. Pierrot said he wants to protect people and do good, and the path he described runs through law enforcement, training, or more study rather than leaving his next step open-ended.
