Does anybody know how to disable connman?

You can also configure connman to ignore a specific interface.

I had to do exactly the same (static IP for eth0) and could do so by configuring it in /etc/network/interfaces AND by modifying (adding) a line in /etc/connman/main.conf:

NetworkinterfaceBlacklist=eth0,SoftAp0,usb0,usb1

I never did figure out how to disable it, so I ended up just deleting it:

sudo apt remove connman

Now my conventional, static IP configurations (in /etc/network/interfaces) are working fine.
