Simone Biles has a new coach and a plan for when she’ll return to competition.

The Olympic all-around champion said Monday night that she’ll train with Laurent Landi, who coached fellow Final Fiver Madison Kocian. Landi also will serve as the team program director at the World Champions Centre, the gym owned by the Biles’ family.

Biles and Landi will begin working together Nov. 1.

“I’m excited to get to work with him because I know how strong a bar worker he is,” Biles told USA TODAY Sports.
