Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz has ended his professional relationship with coach Juan Carlos Ferrero after a successful seven-year partnership. Ferrero began coaching Alcaraz when he was just 15 years old and played a significant role in shaping him into a champion.
During their collaboration, Alcaraz achieved notable success, including winning six Grand Slam titles, attaining the world No. 1 ranking, and securing an Olympic silver medal. Ferrero, a former world No. 1 and Grand Slam champion himself, was instrumental in Alcaraz’s development.
The decision to part ways came shortly after Ferrero and Samuel Lopez were recognized with the 2025 ATP Coach of the Year Award for their exceptional work with Alcaraz. Alcaraz shared the news of their separation through a heartfelt social media post, expressing gratitude for their journey together and acknowledging the growth and experiences they shared.
In response, Ferrero also posted a touching message on Instagram, reminiscing about their time together and expressing pride in their accomplishments. Both Alcaraz and Ferrero refrained from disclosing the specific reasons behind their professional split.
Alcaraz continues to receive coaching from Samuel Lopez, who operates at Ferrero’s academy in Alicante. The details surrounding Ferrero’s departure from Alcaraz’s coaching team remain undisclosed at this time.
