Kingsley Coman: 'If we win the title every year, I'll be the happiest'

Kingsley Coman soaked in the atmosphere, the magnitude of the moment, hailed an historic season for Al Nassr and a stellar one for himself personally, then flipped focus towards what’s to come next.

Chiefly, building on an incredible campaign by showing Al Nassr’s Roshn Saudi League title success was no flash in the pan.

“That's the goal,” Coman told the Saudi Pro League. “It's my first year here, and I'm here for three years. If you can win the league every year, I will be the happiest.

“So, as I said, that's the goal. We will fight. We know that it won't be easy, but if you give everything until the end, you can make it happen.”

Through 2025-26, Al Nassr and Coman had done just that. In one of the most captivating RSL title races in recent memory, Jorge Jesus’ side emerged as champions on the very last day, the 4-1 victory against Damac at their sold-out Al Awwal Park ensuring they pipped Riyadh rivals Al Hilal to the trophy.

A first top-flight crown in seven years.

Coman’s contribution was crucial. Not only on that final night, when his stunning effort put Al Nassr 2-0 up, but his numbers for the entire season communicate a dazzling debut season indeed.

Having made the move last summer from German heavyweights Bayern Munich, Coman reached double digits for both goals and assists, with 10 and 11 respectively.

In fact, only three players in the entire league bettered him for assists, the leader in that category being teammate, and 2025-26 SPL Player of the Season, Joao Felix.

Like his fellow RSL debutant, it’s been some introduction to Saudi Arabian football.

“Yeah, I'm really happy - I came for this,” Coman said. “I wish we could have two trophies [Al Nassr lost the AFC Champions League Two final days before securing the RSL crown], but I will settle for this one.

“The club wanted it since long time, and to win in the first year is really something I, and the team, can be proud about. It's a good start, and I hope that it will be many more to come.” 

Coman smiled when asked about his closing goal of 2025-26; driving along the Damac byline, the Frenchman cut inside, exchanged passes with Abdullah Al Khaibari and then unleashed an unstoppable low drive from the edge of the visitors’ penalty area. It nestled just inside the far post.

“I think one of the best goals of this season came on this day,” Coman laughed. “So that's perfect.”
