Kadidiatou Diani, former PSG (Women’s) player, accuses her former coach of sexual assault

Kadidiatou Diani, who now plays for Olympique Lyonnais, has filed a complaint against her former coach, Didier Ollé-Nicolle, for sexual assault that allegedly occurred in 2021 during her time with PSG. Ollé-Nicolle was dismissed by PSG in 2022 due to inappropriate behavior towards players.

The reported incidents took place during the team’s American tour in 2021. It is claimed that Ollé-Nicolle touched Diani’s buttocks with a mini baseball bat, an action he allegedly repeated with other teammates.

Another similar incident occurred when Kadidiatou Diani was preparing to enter the field during a match against Toulouse.

In May 2022, PSG became aware of inappropriate acts and comments directed at members of their women’s team and subsequently suspended and fired Ollé-Nicolle.

Ollé-Nicolle’s lawyer, Guillaume Traynard, has defended his client, suggesting a connection between these allegations and the earlier case involving Kheira Hamraoui, who accused individuals associated with PSG of extortion.

Traynard also pointed out that Diani is the partner of César Mavacala, one of the individuals accused in the Hamraoui case, in which Ollé-Nicolle has also become a plaintiff.

These allegations come amidst a tumultuous period for PSG Women’s team, with players coming forward to address various issues and incidents.
