Kingsley Junior Coman (French pronunciation: [kiŋslɛ ʒy.njɔʁ kɔman, -mɑ̃];[3] born 13 June 1996) is a French professional footballer who plays as a winger for Bundesliga club Bayern Munich and the France national team.

Trained at Paris Saint-Germain's academy, Coman moved to Juventus in 2014 on the expiration of his contract, winning the Serie A and Coppa Italia in his first season in Italy. In August 2015, he transferred on loan to Bayern Munich, then permanently, winning eight Bundesliga, three DFB-Pokal, and six DFL-Supercup titles. He won the 2019–20 UEFA Champions League by scoring the only goal in the final against Paris Saint-Germain, and won the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup later that year. He won the league title in his first 11 seasons as a professional, until the 2023–24 Bundesliga season.[4]

Coman earned 39 caps and scored 11 goals in France's youth teams, from under-16 to under-21 levels. He made his debut for the senior team in November 2015 and represented the nation at UEFA Euro 2016, where they reached the final, as well as Euro 2020, the 2022 FIFA World Cup (again making the final) and Euro 2024.

  3. ^ Coman has said that both pronunciations were acceptable; [kɔmɑ̃] is the original pronunciation from Guadeloupe, but he adopted [kɔman] because the former is homophonous with comment (French for "how") which led to teasing at a young age, and because he thought the latter sounded better.
