The former PSG women's coach, investigated for alleged sexual assault

The former coach of the women's team of Paris Saint-Germain Didier Ollé-Nicolle is subject to a preliminary investigation for sexual assault following the complaint filed by the former attacker of the team Kadidiatou Diani.

As revealed this Thursday by the newspaper Le Parisien, Diani filed the complaint last June, just when he terminated his contract with PSG and committed to Lyon.

According to the complaint, Ollé-Nicolle engaged in several inappropriate behaviors with the players. The player's lawyer, Sandrine Pégand, stated that Diani presented her to free the word of other victims.

Specifically, Diani refers to events that took place in 2021 during a rally in the United States, in which the club's then coach touched the buttocks of several players when they were getting on the bus using a miniature baseball bat.

On another occasion, Diani herself was the victim at half-time of a match when the coach also touched her butt. The lawyer of the former PSG coach, Guillaume Traynard, considered the accusations "fanciful" and did not rule out filing a complaint for slander.

The lawyer also recalled that Diani is the partner of César Mavacala, prosecuted for extortion, and that the player is part of those investigated for the attack on Kheira Hamraoui, an investigation in which his client is a civil party.

Specifically, Mavacala is suspected of having blackmailed PSG by bringing up these accusations if some players for whom he is the representative were not renewed.
