“If those facts and words confirmed, they would be incompatible with the sporting and human values ​​of PSG “, says the entity, which claims to take the situation “very seriously” and asks that the accusations be clarified.

The revelation of the facts took place at the beginning of the week, when a series of messages on the social network Twitter alerted of accusations against the coach by a young player , minor old, who told his parents that touched his butt after a game .

Although they did not want to file an official complaint, the police opened proceedings and, internally, an investigation was also carried out , in which several team officials, including the coach, were questioned.

It brought to light other complaints from players against certain behaviors of the coach, who made his apologies to the group. But the club, which already harbored doubts about his continuity, decided to go further and removed him from his duties.

This new case adds to others that have taken place in the women’s PSG, such as the assault last November on Kheira Hamraoui, which has not yet been clarified, or the fight she had with several teammates before the Champions League semifinal against Lyon last 24 April.
