Carlos Alcaraz and Juan Carlos Ferrero have decided to part ways after a successful seven-year partnership. Ferrero began coaching Alcaraz when he was just 15 years old, guiding him to numerous achievements including six Grand Slam titles, a world No. 1 ranking, and an Olympic silver medal. The separation was announced shortly after Ferrero and Samuel Lopez received the prestigious 2025 ATP Coach of the Year Award for their work with Alcaraz.
Alcaraz shared the news of their split on social media, expressing gratitude for the journey they had shared and the growth he experienced under Ferrero’s guidance. Ferrero reciprocated the sentiment in a heartfelt Instagram post, reminiscing about their shared experiences and expressing pride in their accomplishments together.
While Alcaraz continues to receive coaching from Samuel Lopez, who operates at Ferrero’s academy in Alicante, the specific reasons behind Ferrero’s departure from their coaching setup remain undisclosed.
