Kingsley Coman returns to Munich for a proper goodbye ahead of Bayern’s Bundesliga game with St Pauli, and the occasion already feels special. SoftFootball had earlier reported how Bayern approved his switch to Saudi Arabia, so this return to Munich feels like the final chapter closing properly.
As seen in a post shared by the club’s official X account, the farewell comes on a day when Bayern also look to regain momentum in the league, something Softfootball covered ahead of the St Pauli clash.

Kingsley Coman will be officially bid farewell tomorrow before the #Bundesliga home game against FC St. Pauli at the Allianz Arena
He spent a decade at the club, and people who watched him know exactly why this matters. Coman popped into the training ground on Friday, hugged old teammates, laughed with staff, and walked the corridors he once did as a teenager.
He’s moved on to Saudi Arabia, but coming back like this feels personal. There is a softness to it, a few tears maybe, lots of handshakes, and that tiny awkwardness when former players try to explain how much a club shaped them.
What he left behind is ridiculous in terms of trophies. Nine league titles, a handful of domestic cups, plus the Champions League moment in Lisbon that few will forget.
That strike in 2020 did more than win a match. It made him part of Bayern folklore. Still, it was not only one moment. Plenty of important games, late runs, assists, and the sort of work rate that coaches love and fans celebrate in the stands.
The farewell will be brief but heartfelt. Expect tributes, a lap, maybe a banner or two, and then the match. Fans who booed or cheered in equal measure over the years will get a chance to show appreciation. It is honest football emotion, not polished PR. Coman’s return feels like closure, a chapter finished rather than slammed shut.
After ten years, this is how it should be. He gave a lot, the club changed him, and now both sides get to say thank you. It will be bittersweet, and that’s okay. Fans will remember the goals, the nights, and the small silly things too.
