After football, Pierrot says his dream is to become an FBI agent

Former Maccabi Haifa striker Frantzdy Pierrot said that when his football career ends, he wants to join the FBI. In an interview with France’s L’Equipe, the 31-year-old said the idea is not a joke and explained that his studies in criminology left him with several career options, including police work or FBI training and academy service.

Pierrot is set to lead Haiti in its opening match of the 2026 World Cup group stage, scheduled for the night between Friday and Saturday at 4:00 a.m. He said he feels “young, like I’m 20,” and plans to keep playing as long as his body allows. He pointed to Cristiano Ronaldo, 41, as inspiration, saying that if Ronaldo can play for so long, he can too.

The forward said he was raised with a strict agreement with his parents that school had to come before football. If he did not do his homework, there would be no training, and poor grades meant no matches. That, he said, is why finishing school was important and why he always wanted a backup plan in case football did not work out.

Pierrot said the FBI appeals to him because he has always wanted to protect people and do good in the world. “I want to be among those who take part in solving bigger and deeper problems,” he said, adding that he wants to influence society. He said that if he still wants that after his playing career, “I will do whatever I need to do.”
