Career

edit

Ithier joined South Africa Premier Soccer League club Engen Santos from the Mauritian club Sunrise Flacq United in 1999, and played for the People's Team until his retirement in 2006. With approximately 70 goals, he is also the club's all-time leading goal-scorer.[citation needed]

Ithier was appointed Engen Santos' caretaker coach after the departure of head coach Roger De Sa, who joined Bidvest Wits after the 06/07 season but was later replaced by David Bright of Botswana. Ithier became an assistant to the club's current head coach, Boebie Solomons. In 2011, Ithier left the club to venture into his own project after deciding to open a football academy that will help develop young talented footballers.[19] His club, J.M.I. is now in the Cape Town Tygerberg Under 14 seventh division. JMI are currently second place on goal difference to Sunningdale C by 13 goals as of June 7 2024. His club has an U7, U9, U12, U14 and first team. The U14 team currently has 22 players.

Ithier also previously coached the South African Homeless World Cup squad.[20]
