Club career

Having spent the 2021 season on loan with Universidad César Vallejo, Pineau returned to Alianza Lima for 2022, making his debut in a 2–0 win over Cienciano.[2] With his contract at Alianza ending on 31 October 2022, he was left a free agent, stating that he would wait until after the 2023 South American U-20 Championship had concluded to negotiate a renewal with the club.[3]

On 23 February 2023, Austin FC II announced they had signed Pineau to a two year contract through the 2024 season.[4]

International career

Born in Santiago, Chile, to a Peruvian mother and French father, Pineau initially opted to represent his nation of birth, Chile, at international level, making his debut in December 2021.[5]

In May 2022, he played in a friendly game for the Chile under-20 team against Uruguay, before being called up to represent both Chile and Peru in August of the same year.[6] In November 2022, he switched allegiance to Peru, reportedly due to family influence, stating that he "always wanted to compete".[7][8]

He was called up to the Peru squad for the 2023 South American U-20 Championship.[9]
