Tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz has decided to part ways with his long-time coach Juan Carlos Ferrero after a successful seven-year partnership. Ferrero began coaching Alcaraz when the young Spanish player was just 15 years old, guiding him to six Grand Slam titles, a world No. 1 ranking, and an Olympic silver medal. The decision to end their coaching relationship comes shortly after Ferrero and Samuel Lopez were honored with the 2025 ATP Coach of the Year Award for their work with Alcaraz, marking Ferrero’s second time winning the prestigious accolade since its inception in 2016.
Alcaraz shared the news of their separation through a heartfelt social media post, expressing gratitude for the journey they had together and the growth he experienced under Ferrero’s guidance. In response, Ferrero also posted a touching message on Instagram, reflecting on the shared experiences, growth, and memorable moments they had as a team. Despite the emotional farewell, both Alcaraz and Ferrero are looking forward to new chapters in their careers and personal lives.
While Alcaraz continues to receive coaching from Samuel Lopez at Ferrero’s academy in Alicante, the specific reasons behind Ferrero’s departure from Alcaraz’s coaching setup remain undisclosed. The tennis world will be watching closely to see how both Alcaraz and Ferrero fare in their future endeavors following this significant coaching transition.
