Without a contract since his departure in July 2016 from Stade de Reims, Johny Placide, the goalkeeper and Captain of the Haitian Football Selection has just signed a short contract (until the end of the season) with the Breton club of Ligue 1 "En avant de Guingamp", 8th in the championship of France after his victory (2-1) against Olympique Lyonnais at the 25th day played the past weekend. Note that Johny Placide was on trial with this club for several weeks.

The Breton club in search of a substitute for Romain Salin, injured to a elbow, forfeited until the end of the season that replaced Karl-Johan Johnsson (also injured), made a good move as well as Placide, that will regain a framework of work to the dimension of his talent and the welcome of his new coach Antoine Koumbouaré is more than warm "I am very glad that he is among us. He's an experienced player, and beyond the player, he's a good guy."

Recall that Johny Placide made his debut in Ligue 1 with the Stade de Reims in January 2013 after playing in Le Havre. Placide knows well the championship of France since he had evolved in D1 and D2.

A good news for the Haitian selection who will play two matches on 24 and 28 March against Nicaragua https://www.icihaiti.com/en/news-20072-haiti-gold-cup-2017-ultimate-chance-for-our-grenadiers.html in the framework of the playoffs of the Gold Cup 2017.
