PSG: Kadidiatou Diani Files Complaint Against Former Coach Ollé-Nicolle for Sexual Assault

According to Le Parisien, Lyon forward Kadidiatou Diani filed a complaint in June against her former PSG coach, Didier Ollé-Nicolle, for allegations of sexual assault.

Former Paris Saint-Germain forward Kadidiatou Diani filed a complaint at the end of June against her former PSG coach, Didier Ollé-Nicolle, for allegations of sexual assault, according to Le Parisien. The French international, who joined Olympique Lyonnais this summer, accused the 63-year-old coach of two incidents that occurred in 2021.

The first incident allegedly occurred during a training camp in the United States, where Ollé-Nicolle is said to have touched several players’ buttocks with a miniature baseball bat. The second incident occurred a few weeks earlier when the coach allegedly touched Diani’s buttocks during halftime of a friendly match in Toulouse. Ollé-Nicolle had been questioned by the judicial police of Versailles as a witness in connection with a “sexual assault by a person in authority” investigation related to these allegations.

To date, no charges have been filed against him, but the Versailles prosecutor’s office seeks to hear Diani’s version regarding the accusations made in her complaint. It’s worth noting that PSG had previously suspended Didier Ollé-Nicolle for allegations of “inappropriate behavior,” but no wrongdoing or misconduct was found against him in the club’s internal investigation, which led to his departure “by mutual agreement” one year before the end of his contract in August 2022.

According to Ollé-Nicolle’s lawyer, who was contacted by Le Parisien, the coach is surprised by Diani’s complaint and is considering filing a complaint for “false accusation.”
