Personal

Dié was raised in a family of 9 children and he faced tragedy at a young age with the death of his father, André Dié. Dié became a devout Christian in 2000, when he was a free agent for a year. He considered that his football career might be over, however during this period he agreed to offer his life to God. "I was lost and The Lord brought me back", he stated. He married Lydia Domoraud on 22 June 2002. They have a child together, Manassé Chris-Samuel Dié, born on 17 January 2006. Dié travelled to Ivory Coast in June 2005, in order to donate clothes and food to the war victims of the city Guitrozon, a suburb of Duékoué, a city situated on the West part of Ivory Coast. In December 2006, Dié participated in an action of support for the inhabitants of Toulépleu, a city located centrally, organized by the First Lady of Ivory Coast, where he donated food to the people. In December 2007, he was named "World Ambassador of Peace" by the president of the OMPP, a World Organization for Peace, for the donations quoted previously and for those that he made during his visit to the prisoners of the MACA Detention center and those of Abidjan. In June 2008, he revisited Ivory Coast again, this time the city of Duékoué, to observe the damages caused by the crisis personally. He created the Manassé Foundation in 2008, in order to help widows and orphans affected by the war through diverse support programs and various projects.
