The season is over… But another match is starting for Didier Ollé-Nicolle. Before the court. The coach of the PSG women’s team, “laid off” by the club since May 24 and on departure, according to information from the newspaper L’Équipe, was interviewed on the morning of June 7 by investigators from the banditry repression brigade (BRB) of the judicial police of Versailles.
Ollé-Nicolle was heard for “inappropriate” behavior on one of his players. Minor at the time. During the team’s summer tour, in France and the United States in August 2021, the coach allegedly made sexist remarks and made an inappropriate gesture, in this case “a hand on the buttocks”.
Alerted by the latter, the PSG would then have launched an internal investigation in order to collect all the testimonies. Subsequently, the Versailles prosecutor’s office opened a judicial investigation against X, on May 15, for acts of “sexual assault by a person in authority”.
According to the newspaper L’Équipe, Ollé-Nicolle, who arrived at PSG last summer and was absent during the club’s last outing, was the subject of a free hearing, as the procedure allows, at the request of the dean of the investigating judges of the judicial court of Versailles, Joëlle Nahon.
During the hearing in the premises of the PJ of Versailles, accompanied by his lawyer, the 60-year-old coach, renowned for his “old school” methods, would have denied the accusations. The likely future ex-coach of PSG would have even hypothesized “internal revenge”.
He was not taken into custody.
