FRANCE star Kingsley Coman is considering international retirement after Euro 2024 at the age of 28.
Coman has been part of Les Bleus’ senior squad ever since 2015 thanks to some impressive performances for the likes of Juventus and current club Bayern Munich.
But the winger only managed 15 minutes during the European Championships in Germany when he replaced Ousmane Dembele during the goalless draw with the Netherlands in the group stage.
According to L’Equipe, the France international had a “bad experience” during the Euros, which “scarred” him.
The same source claims Coman had put a lot of hard work into returning from a hamstring injury to claim a spot in Didier Deschamps’ squad.
It has also been reported that the decision to keep Deschamps in charge for the 2026 World Cup may have contributed to the forward’s decision.
If the Bayern star decides to hang up his boots then that won’t be the first time France see a player retire from international duty at such a young age.
Raphael Varane also did the same at the age of 29 after the 2022 World Cup final that saw his team lose to Argentina.
Coman has scored eight goals in 57 appearances for France.
And despite his injury-stricken season, the Frenchman still managed five goals and three assists in 27 appearances across all competitions with Bayern.
