After a successful seven-year partnership, Carlos Alcaraz has decided to part ways with his coach Juan Carlos Ferrero. Ferrero began coaching Alcaraz when the tennis prodigy was just 15 years old, guiding him to multiple Grand Slam victories and a top ranking in the world. The split was announced shortly after Ferrero and Samuel Lopez received the ATP Coach of the Year Award for their exceptional work with Alcaraz in 2025.
Alcaraz took to social media to share the news of the separation, expressing gratitude for the journey they shared and the growth he experienced under Ferrero’s guidance. Ferrero reciprocated the sentiment in an emotional Instagram post, reminiscing about their shared experiences and expressing optimism for the future.
While Alcaraz continues to receive coaching from Samuel Lopez at Ferrero’s academy in Alicante, the exact reasons behind Ferrero’s departure from the coaching team remain undisclosed.
