Zambian national football team coach, Milutin Sredojevic, made a brief appearance in the New Brighton Regional Court in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) on Thursday.
He faces charges of sexual assault following an incident at the Wolfson Stadium during the Cosafa Games in the city in December.
The state alleges that during the Cosafa Games in December, a 39-year-old woman was delivering coffee at the Wolfson Stadium when she asked Sredojevic if he would need sugar with his coffee.
"He allegedly said no and added that he needed another type of sugar, pointing at her private parts. It is alleged she complained about his conduct and her boss warned Sredojevic not to do it again," said NPA spokesperson Anelisa Ngcakani said.
She said on the same day, the woman went back to the stadium to deliver coffee again when Sredojevic allegedly touched her buttocks.
Ngcakani said the case against the coach was postponed to 25 May for trial.
His bail of R10 000 was extended.
