Kingsley Coman has refused to rule out a move away from Bayern Munich before hailing Pep Guardiola as his favourite manager.
The French winger joined the Bundesliga champions on an initial loan when Manchester City boss Pep was in charge at the Allianz Arena in 2015.
The 23-year-old, who made the deal permanent after the Spaniard left the club, has already been part of title-winning sides at Bayern, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus.
And despite great success in Bavaria, Coman has not ruled out adding to his 16 medals elsewhere.
He told Eurosport: “I don’t know what I want in five years so anything is possible.
“To stay at the top level and to win the most titles. Bayern is one of the clubs where you can do that.”
Coman has already been coached by some of football’s most distinguished coaches including Carlo Ancelotti, Jupp Heynckes, Didier Deschamps and Massimiliano Allegri.
But the France International has picked out Etihad chief Guardiola as the best he’s worked with.
He added: “I would say Guardiola because he is the one who made me start playing a little more regularly even if I had played a few matches at Juventus.
“For a player in my position, a winger who likes to hit and provoke, he is the best coach we can have because that is what demands us the most.
“He creates systems to have one-on-one situations and it’s the system where I can flourish the most. He didn’t ask me to have stats. He just asked me to take, hit and centre. And that was what I appreciated very much.”

The comments are likely to fuel reports City are monitoring Coman if Bayern return for Leroy Sane.
But SunSport revealed last month that the German giants are set to offer David Alaba as a makeweight in any deal for the Etihad winger.
The Austrian left-back is one of Bayern’s top stars, but it is understood he is looking for a new challenge.
