French winger Kingsley Coman is contemplating retirement from international football at the age of 28, according to L’Equipe.
Coman’s struggles at Euro 2024, where he was limited to a brief appearance against the Netherlands, have left him heartbroken and weighing his options.
The Bayern Munich player has battled injuries, including a hamstring issue, to earn his place in the squad. However, his inability to secure regular playing time under Didier Deschamps has led to doubts about his future with the national team. Coman has made 57 appearances for France, scoring five goals and providing three assists.
Deschamps’ confirmation as coach for the 2026 World Cup may also influence Coman’s decision. The winger will return to Bayern Munich to focus on regaining his fitness and form, with a potential aim to prove Deschamps wrong. Coman’s club form last season saw him make 27 appearances, scoring five goals and registering three assists, despite struggling with knee and adductor injuries.
Coman’s potential retirement would mark a significant loss for French football, given his talent and experience. However, his struggles at Euro 2024 have seemingly pushed him to reassess his international career.
