I guess it's a bit hazy. As I said, the anime hasn't come out and said it is 100%, but there's enough circumstantial evidence that what the government wanted and what the Warriors wanted was the same thing.

Eren tries controlling Rod Reiss's Titan the same way he used the Coordinate to command the Titans that attacked Reiner and Bertholdt, and they refer to it as trying to use the Founding Titan. But at no point do they say "The Founding Titan is the Coordinate the Warriors were looking for." So you have to put 2 and 2 together.
