[edit]

On 30 August 2015, Coman signed with Bayern Munich on a two-year loan from Juventus for a fee of €7 million to be paid in two instalments with an option to buy for a fee of an extra €21 million upon 30 April 2017, two months before the loan's expiry.[20][21] He was assigned the squad number 29.[20]

A week later, on his first start, he scored his first goal for his new club, in a 3–0 victory at Darmstadt 98.[22] The following week, he netted again in a win of the same margin at Mainz 05.[23] On 24 November, Coman scored his first Champions League goal in a 4–0 defeat of Olympiacos.[24] He was runner-up to compatriot Anthony Martial of Manchester United for the 2015 Golden Boy, awarded to Europe's best player under 21 years of age.[25]

At the end of the season, Coman said in an interview with France Football, "I was perhaps in a position that suited me a bit better [under Guardiola]. I had fewer injuries too. I played more on the wing, and the coach asked me to take people on. That's what I do best, it's the essence of my game. This season [under Ancelotti], it's a bit different, but a good player must be able to adapt to instructions and respect the choices of his coach."[34] In an interview with the German magazine kicker on 29 May 2017, Coman said, "It was a complicated year for me. I thought about leaving Bayern."[35]

Before the 2021–22 season, Coman was assigned the number 11 shirt left vacant after the departure of Douglas Costa.[50] Entering this season, Kingsley Coman hired agent Pini Zahavi, who also represented former teammates David Alaba and Robert Lewandowski to secure a transfer to another club.[51] After Zahavi was unable to do so,[52] Coman fired him harshly and re-signed his contract with FC Bayern Munich on 12 January 2022 until 2027.[53]

He is capable of playing on either flank, or even in the centre, as an offensive midfielder or as a striker. Although he is naturally right-footed, his preferred position is on the left, which allows him to beat opponents in one on one situations, cut into the centre onto his right foot, and either shoot on goal, create chances for teammates, or make attacking runs into the area.[74][75] In 2015, Don Balón named him one of the 101 best young players in the world.[73]
