Kylian Mbappe overlooked by former PSG star after latest dressing room feud

Former Paris Saint-Germain star Kingsley Coman has backed Presnel Kimpembe to be the club's next captain - not Kylian Mbappe.

PSG boss Christophe Galtier raised eyebrows earlier this year when he announced that Mbappe was his vice-captain - stripping Kimpembe of the honour. Kimpembe responded by claiming he "was not made aware of this decision" in a social media post. Then, in February, Galtier did a U-turn by handing the armband back to Kimpembe.

Galtier initially gave Mbappe the vice-captaincy after he committed his future to PSG. The World Cup winner signed a new three-year deal with the Ligue 1 champions last year, a contract which saw his influence at the Parc des Princes - and wages - rise significantly.
