The man needs to talk to the professor but he has a class during the professor's office hours . Can I say,''The man needs to talk to the professor but his office hours coincides with his classes.''
Thank you in advance.

The pronouns are a bit confusing. He needs to talk to the professor, but his office hours coincide with the man's classes.

It's risky business to use "his" to refer to two different people in the same clause. You make us work too hard to figure out who's who. Presumably, "the man" is the professor's student, but you don't exactly make that clear. Maybe he's the student's father.
You need the plural verb: ". . . . office hours coincide with etc."
