Carlos Ferrero has spoken about his split with Carlos Alcaraz and revealed if he would be open to coaching the world No 1 again in the future.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">In December, the tennis world was stunned when Ferrero and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/carlos-alcaraz\">Alcaraz<\/a> ended a seven-year partnership that featured 24 titles, including six Grand Slams.<\/p>\n<p>Alcaraz started attending Ferrero\u2019s academy in Villena in 2018 when he was 15, and he became the youngest ATP world No 1 in history after winning his maiden major at the 2022 US Open aged 19.<\/p>\n<p>Ferrero, a former world No 1 and French Open winner, admitted he wished he \u201ccould have continued\u201d as Alcaraz\u2019s coach in an emotional message reacting to the split.<\/p>\n<p>Samuel Lopez, who coaches at Ferrero\u2019s academy, is now Alcaraz\u2019s head coach, having previously worked in tandem with Ferrero.<\/p>\n<p>Alcaraz holds a perfect 12-0 record in 2026 after winning the Australian Open and Qatar Open in his two events since parting ways with Ferrero.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with El Cafelito, Ferrero addressed how he was coping with the split and shut down claims it was related to money or training locations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEmotionally I\u2019m fine, it\u2019s been three months already, and we have to move forward,\u201d said the 46-year-old.<\/p>\n<h2>Carlos Alcaraz News<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/juan-carlos-ferrero-reveals-why-he-unfollowed-carlos-alcaraz-social-media\"><strong>Juan Carlos

It wasn\u2019t about money or him not wanting to train in Villena.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the end, we didn\u2019t think the same way about how to continue working together, we couldn\u2019t reach an agreement, and it was due to private matters that happened internally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After Alcaraz became the youngest man to complete the career Grand Slam with his 2026 Australian Open victory, he did not mention his former coach, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/toni-nadal-criticises-carlos-alcaraz-not-mentioning-juan-carlos-ferrero-australian-open\">sparked criticism from some, including Toni Nadal.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ferrero has insisted it did not \u201cbother\u201d him that Alcaraz did not thank him after his historic achievement in Melbourne.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt didn\u2019t bother me that he didn\u2019t mention me. Obviously, if he had done it, I would have liked it, but I understand that he and his circle have decided not to talk about it anymore, and that\u2019s it,\u201d Ferrero said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI stick with the message he sent me when we parted ways, thanking me for everything we experienced and saying that I was crucial in getting him where he has reached.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Spanish tennis great also confirmed he will coach again on the tennis tour and said he would accept the chance to re-join Alcaraz\u2019s team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will return to the circuit; I feel I still have a lot to offer and have already received many offers, but I do not yet have the necessary drive to accept any of them. I know that if Carlos ever asked me to return, I couldn\u2019t say no,\u201d Ferrero explained.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/novak-djokovic-amazing-tim-henman-jannik-sinner\">Tim Henman admits he was \u2018finding it hard to believe what he was seeing\u2019 with Novak Djokovic<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Juan Carlos Ferrero reveals if he would coach Carlos Alcaraz again as he debunks claims about split Ewan West 06 Mar 2026 2:00 PM Carlos Alcaraz with Juan Carlos Ferrero inset Juan Carlos Ferrero has spoken about his split with Carlos Alcaraz and revealed if he would be open to coaching the world No 1 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[226,249],"class_list":["post-1811217","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-crawlmanager","tag-tennis365-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1811217","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1811217"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1811217\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1811217"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1811217"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1811217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
