\u201cprobably would\u201d consider a return to coaching in the future but admitted his \u201cpriorities are lying elsewhere just now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since hanging up his racket in August 2024, Murray has largely kept himself away from tennis instead focusing on his business ventures and a passion for golf, but he did return to the court in November 2024 to serve as Novak Djokovic\u2019s head coach for the following year.<\/p>\n<p>That relationship ended in May 2025 but Murray has now said he would be open to returning to the role.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think at some stage I probably would (consider a return to coaching),\u201d Murray told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/7149488\/2026\/04\/02\/tennis-players-retired-investment-business-andy-murray-serena-williams\/\">The Athletic<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy priorities are lying elsewhere just now, but I would do it again in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do like the idea of helping a much younger player, a little bit like \u2014 not that I would expect it to turn out like this \u2014 the (Juan Carlos) Ferrero-(Carlos) Alcaraz relationship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA younger player that you\u2019re really able to help and have a really positive influence on. I would find something like that quite interesting but certainly not right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE NEWS ON T365<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>* <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/carlos-alcaraz-world-no1-jannik-sinner-change\"><strong>Carlos Alcaraz set to beat Jannik Sinner\u2019s world No 1 record \u2013 but his joy may be brief<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n* <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/andy-murray-running-shoe-brand-growing-list-of-investments\"><strong>Andy Murray in competition with Roger Federer after latest investment<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n* <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/alcaraz-sinner-set-winner-takes-all-match-no-1-monte-carlo\"><strong>Alcaraz and Sinner set for winner takes all match to be No 1 in Monte-Carlo<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another popular post-playing career for any athlete is punditry but Murray has had limited experience of that to date, suggesting it is not really something he has an interest in currently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy feeling is that punditry in general, particularly when you have a name within the sport, is quite easy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are some people that are very good at it. Jim Courier and Andy Roddick were great at the game, but also love the game and are very well researched and speak really, really well and are very passionate about it. And do the job extremely well. They\u2019re not just turning up because they\u2019re getting paid and just throwing out random comments, having not really watched the players and not really thinking much about what they\u2019re saying.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo it can be done extremely well, but I don\u2019t think that\u2019s always the case. And I think tennis needs to sort of improve the way that they do punditry but it\u2019s not something that right now I\u2019m massively into doing. I wouldn\u2019t rule out doing it in the future, but I don\u2019t really want to do it right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read next: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/carlos-alcaraz-trait-sky-rocketing-matching-novak-djokvoic-slam-number\">The \u2018rare\u2019 Carlos Alcaraz trait has him \u2018sky rocketing\u2019 towards matching Novak Djokvoic<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andy Murray opens door to coaching return after Novak Djokovic stint Sam Cooper 03 Apr 2026 7:00 PM Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray Andy Murray said he \u201cprobably would\u201d consider a return to coaching in the future but admitted his \u201cpriorities are lying elsewhere just now.\u201d Since hanging up his racket in August 2024, Murray [&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-1864291","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\/1864291","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=1864291"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1864291\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1864291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1864291"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1864291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
