Carlos Alcaraz has ended his coaching relationship with Juan Carlos Ferrero after collaborating for seven years. Ferrero started coaching Alcaraz when the young Spanish player was just 15 years old and played a significant role in his development as a successful player.
During their partnership, Alcaraz achieved notable milestones, including winning six Grand Slam titles, reaching the world No. 1 ranking, and securing an Olympic silver medal. Ferrero, a former world No. 1 and Grand Slam champion himself, played a pivotal role in Alcaraz’s career.
The decision to part ways was announced shortly after Ferrero and Samuel Lopez received the prestigious 2025 ATP Coach of the Year Award for their work with Alcaraz. This recognition marked Ferrero as the first individual to win the award multiple times since its establishment in 2016.
Alcaraz shared the news of their separation through a heartfelt social media post, expressing gratitude for their journey together and acknowledging the positive impact Ferrero had on his growth as both an athlete and a person.
In response, Ferrero also posted a heartfelt message on Instagram, reminiscing about their shared experiences and expressing appreciation for the time spent together. He highlighted the valuable lessons learned and the support received throughout their collaboration.
While Alcaraz continues to receive coaching from Samuel Lopez at Ferrero’s academy in Alicante, the specific reasons behind Ferrero’s departure from the coaching setup remain undisclosed. Both parties have expressed mutual respect and well wishes for each other’s future endeavors.
