Coman: Guardiola the most influential coach I've had

The Hindu  

Bayern Munich's Kingsley Coman has described his former Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola as "the best coach" a winger can have. A thigh injury then meant Coman missed Bayern's three games before its campaign was halted by the suspension of competitions due to the spread of coronavirus. The Bundesliga is eyeing a return to action in early May and Bayern's players were back training in small groups this week, much to Coman's delight. "We had not touched a ball on a football pitch for almost a month and even if we're split in small groups it's a pleasure to play again and step onto a field that has goals," Coman said.
