He is also a devout Christian, wearing a cross necklace and praying before every match. However, Coman has had some troubles in his personal life.
In 2017, he was arrested and charged with domestic violence against his ex-girlfriend Sephora Goignan, whom he dated from 2013 to 2016.
He admitted to hitting her multiple times during an argument and apologized for his actions. He also had a legal dispute with Nike, his former sponsor, who sued him for breach of contract in 2018.
He switched to Adidas in 2016, but Nike claimed he still owed them money and damages. The case was settled out of court in 2019.
Career
Kingsley Coman began his professional career with PSG, making his debut in February 2013, becoming the youngest player to play for the club at the age of 16 years, eight months and four days.
However, he only made four appearances for PSG as he struggled to break into the first team.
He decided to leave PSG in 2014 and joined Juventus on a free transfer, signing a five-year contract. He made his Juventus debut in August 2014 and scored his first goal in October 2014.
He won the Serie A and Coppa Italia in his first season, playing 20 games and scoring one goal.
In 2015, Coman joined Bayern Munich on a two-year loan deal with an option to buy. He made his Bayern debut in August 2015 and scored his first goal in September 2015.
He quickly established himself as a key player for Bayern, forming a successful partnership with Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Muller.
He won the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal and DFL-Supercup in his first season, playing 35 games and scoring six goals. He also reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League, where he faced his former club Juventus. He scored twice in the second leg, helping Bayern win 6-4 on aggregate.
In 2017, Bayern exercised their option to buy Coman, signing him to a contract until 2020. He continued to impress for Bayern, winning more trophies and becoming a fan favourite. He extended his contract until 2023 in 2018 and until 2026 in 2020.
He has won seven Bundesliga titles, three DFB-Pokal titles, four DFL-Supercup titles and the 2020 UEFA Champions League with Bayern, playing 193 games and scoring 38 goals.

Argumentative
Kingsley Coman has been involved in a number of controversies during his career, mainly relating to his personal life and transfers.
He was arrested and fined for domestic violence against his ex-girlfriend in 2017, damaging his reputation and image.
He also had a legal dispute with Nike, his former sponsor, who sued him for breach of contract in 2018. He switched to Adidas in 2016, but Nike claimed he still owed them money and damages. The case was settled out of court in 2019.
Coman has also faced criticism for his transfers, particularly from PSG fans, who have accused him of being disloyal and ungrateful. He left PSG in 2014, after making just four appearances for the club, and joined Juventus on a free transfer.
He then joined Bayern Munich on loan in 2015, and later signed a permanent deal, where he won the 2020 UEFA Champions League, scoring the winning goal against PSG.
He said he did not celebrate the goal out of respect for PSG, but some PSG fans still booed and called him a traitor.
