At the end of the season, Coman said in an interview withFrance 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 magazinekicker on 29 May 2017, Coman said, "It was a complicated year for me. I thought about leaving Bayern."[35]

He is capable of playing on either flank, or even in the centre, as anoffensive midfielder or as astriker.
