Please who can draw to me or give me the footprint of the coil **broken link removed** i have a doubt in understanding the dimension of the coil
 

The footprint diagram is on page 3 of the datasheet. What doubts do you have?

they said that the dimension of the coil is 10.4x10.4 but in the layout recommendation they put 3.6x11
 

You should consider the possibilty, that the room occupied by a component (the so-called courtyard) is larger than the rectangle enclosing the pads. In my opion, the datasheet is soooo obvious...
 

Correct. 10.4mm x 10.4mm is the dimension of the coil. The two pads shown at 11 x 3.6 are where you put the pads for the part to solder to. Normally you would create a footprint with the pads as shown in the drawing and then add a no-go area and silk screen to show the overall outline of the part.

Here is what it might look like



You can see the pads. The rectangular area is a "keepout" area. This inductor is slightly different to yours - it is a shielded rectangle rather than open.
