Jerry Zouantcha joined the American University men's soccer staff in July of 2025. A former player for the Eagles and D.C. native, Zouantcha is returned to his alma mater after founding his own DMV-based soccer academy in 2023. He was a part of the Patriot League Coaching Staff of the Year during the 2025 campaign that saw the Eagles capture the regular season conference title.
Shortly after graduating from AU, Zouantcha founded Ballerz Football Academy, a soccer and performance training academy in the DMV geared toward all levels. The academy offers high-level training alongside elite-level clinics and camps that help players prepare for higher levels of competition. While studying health promotion at American, he also helped to found VOICI, a streetwear brand that aimed to educate people about the cultural history of the DMV.
Zouantcha played for the Eagles from 2017 to 2022, earning Second Team All-Patriot League honors in 2018. He scored eight goals for American, including scoring the game-tying and game-winning goals against Navy to help the Eagles secure a top-three seed in the 2021 Patriot League Tournament. His younger brother, Dilane, also played for American, graduating from Kogod in May 2025.
