A Journey from Haiti to the United States
Born in Haiti, Pierre P. Joanis began his soccer career in the Haitian 2nd Division, where he showcased exceptional talent and quickly earned opportunities at higher levels. He played professionally for Cavally FC, De Leogane, and Valencia FC De Leogane in 2006, gaining invaluable experience competing at an elite level in Haiti’s soccer scene.
His journey brought him to the United States, where he continued his passion for the game, making an impact both as a player and a coach. He served as Assistant Coach at Essex County College in New Jersey, where he helped mentor and develop young athletes at the collegiate level. He also founded DOZ FC, a New York-based soccer program dedicated to nurturing emerging talents and building a strong foundation for the future of sport in the city.
Now, as he joins Osner’s FC, Joanis is determined to apply his vast experience to build a competitive, disciplined, and dynamic squad.
A Vision for Success at Osner’s FC
Joanis brings a deep commitment to player development, tactical strategy, and team cohesion. His approach emphasizes the importance of technical growth, mental resilience, and fostering a winning mindset among players.

My goal is to contribute to building a squad that competes with passion, intelligence, and relentless determination.”
Joanis is eager to collaborate with Head Coach Christian Turizo, fellow Assistant Coach Michael Vasquez, and the rest of the staff to implement high-level training methods that will elevate Osner’s FC in its debut season.
