Club career

Placide began his career on youth side with Le Havre AC and was promoted to the first team in July 2008 and played four games in his first season. He played in his debut match on 26 April 2009 against Grenoble Foot.[1]

Placide joined Stade de Reims in January 2013. He made his league debut for the club on 19 January 2013 in a 1–0 away defeat to Sochaux.[2] In July 2016, Placide was released from the club.[3]

On 31 August 2017, Placide signed a two-year contract with League One side Oldham Athletic.[4] On 26 September 2017, he made his debut for Oldham Athletic in a 3–2 victory over Peterborough United. Placide made several important saves and was awarded the man of the match award for his performance.[5] On 3 October 2017, Placide earned his first clean sheet for Oldham Athletic in a 0–1 victory over Crewe Alexandra in the EFL Trophy.[6] On 17 April 2018 he saved a key penalty from Rochdale's Joe Rafferty to help his side secure a 0–0 draw.[7]

International career

Placide played for the Haiti national team at the 2008 Olympic Qualifying Tournament, losing all three qualifying games, but was most fondly remembered for his performance against Mexico; despite losing 5–1, Placide had saved several clear opportunities from Mexico during the match, including a penalty. Despite Placide's heroics, this game eliminated both teams and cost Hugo Sánchez his post as national coach. Placide was then called to the French U21 side playing at the Toulon Tournament. He earned his first French U21 cap in a 1–0 victory over Portugal.[8] Placide played his first game for the French U21 squad on 11 February 2009 against Tunisia.[9]

Placide was called up by Haiti for the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup, in which his side won group B and made it to the semi-finals for the very first time, before being eliminated by Mexico.
