PSG Women's coach suspended over 'inappropriate behaviour' | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain have announced that Didier Ollé-Nicolle, the coach of the club’s women’s team, has been suspended following allegations of “inappropriate behaviour and remarks”.

PSG take on rivals Lyon in a top of the table Division 1 Féminine clash on Sunday, but they will now do so without their coach, who has been suspended pending an investigation.

“Paris Saint-Germain has today been made aware of inappropriate behaviour and remarks that members of its Women’s Team have been exposed to,” read a club statement released on Tuesday evening.

“These remarks and events, if confirmed, would be incompatible with Paris Saint-Germain’s sporting and human values.

“Paris Saint-Germain is taking this situation seriously and intends to bring to light the reported events and remarks.

“In order to protect the interests of all parties, the coach of the Women’s Team has been suspended today, in agreement with Paris Saint-Germain. This is a fair and temporary measure. It will not prejudice the internal investigation that will be undertaken, nor impact the decisions that the Club may be led to take.”

It has already been a turbulent season for the club after midfielder Kheira Hamraoui was dragged from her car and attacked by two men with iron bars back in November last year. Hamraoui’s team-mate Aminata Diallo was arrested after she was alleged to have been behind the assault, before later being released from police custody without charge.

Despite that off-field drama, Les Parisiennes are currently second in Division 1, five points behind Lyon, having also been defeated by eventual winners Lyon in the semi-final of the Champions League.
