Bayern Munich manager Carlo Ancelotti rules out Kingsley Coman’s return to Juventus after this season.
The Frenchmen joined Bayern Munich last summer for a two year loan with an option to buy. Ancelotti insists that he wants Coman to be at Bayern next season. The French winger has been linked to a move away from the German giants earlier this season.
Coman enjoyed a stellar debut season after moving from Juventus last year. He found the net eleven times for Bayern in all competitions last season. However he has endured a slow start to the season as he has still not opened his account this term. Ancelloti is adamant to give up on the young forward.
"“Kingsley is staying at Bayern. We are counting on him.”“There is absolutely no way that he will return to Juventus.”"
Bayern has an option of buying Coman from Juventus for €21 million next summer. Coman has got few opportunities this term as Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben are back to their best. It is normal that young players are inconsistent but Bayern needs to remain patient with Coman.
Coman finished in the top three of Golden Boy award list as his club teammate Renato Sanches won the award. With the likes of Robben and Robery not getting younger Coman is the future for Bayern. His most memorable performance in his short stint at the club is the cameo against Juventus in last year’s Champions League semifinal.

The Bayern forward has been awarded for his performance at the international level. He has been in constant setup of France national team since moving to Bayern. Ancelotti will be hoping to get the best out of Coman, but needs to handle him properly.
Coman is currently on international duty as France face Ivory Coast and Sweden in this international break. The winger will be looking to get some minutes in order to stake claim for Bayern’s game against Borussia Dortmund after the break.
