Career
Kingsley Coman began his professional career with PSG, debuting in February 2013, becoming the youngest player to play for the club at 16 years, eight months, and four days.
However, he made only four appearances for PSG as he struggled to break into the first team.
He decided to leave PSG in 2014 and joined Juventus on a free transfer, signing a five-year contract. He debuted for Juventus in August 2014 and scored his first goal in October 2014.
He won the Serie A and Coppa Italia in his first season, playing 20 games and scoring one goal.

Controversy
Kingsley Coman has been involved in some controversies in his career, mainly related to his personal life and transfers.
He was arrested and fined for domestic violence against his ex-girlfriend in 2017, which tarnished his reputation and image.
