Do I have to use NavigationController in my coordinators code?

Question

I am refactoring my codes and want to give Coordinators a try.

However, I am not quite comfortable with UINavigationController in charge, cause it creates a Back button on child coordinates as well as an unwanted top bar which I don’t want.

Is there anyway I could use ordinary UIViewController instead of UINavigationController?

P.S : it is a sample code I found [Here][1]

protocol Coordinator { func start() }

protocol FlowACoordinatable { var coordinator: FlowACoordinator }

class FlowACoordinator: Coordinator {

private var navigationController: UINavigationController

private var firstVC: FirstViewController
private var secondVC: SecondViewController

init(navigationController: UINavigationController) {
    self.navigationController = navigationController
}

func start() { ... }

func present(_ viewController: (FlowACoordinatable & UIViewController)) {
    viewController.coordinator = self
    self.navigationController.pushViewController(viewController, animated: true)
}

...

}

class FirstViewController: UIViewController, FlowACoordinatable {

var coordinator: FlowACoordinator?

func buttonTapped() {
    self.coordinator?.goToNextStep()
}

}

Answering my own question...

Coordinators architecture is based on UINavigationController and can not be replaced by UIViewController.

But still, it is possible to hide the buttom bar pane using Object Inspection and check Hide buttom bar... or do it by code.
