--><\/p>\n<p>David Ferrer confirmed the 2026 Davis Cup would be his final year in charge of Spain after four years in charge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to announce that this will be my last year as Davis Cup captain, giving up the year 2027. I want to thank the RFET for the opportunity it gave me to fulfil one of my dreams, which is to be able to be Davis Cup captain of my country,\u201d said Ferrer in a social media post.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI also want to thank all the players and all the people who have accompanied me during this adventure. It has been a privilege to share this journey with all of them. The reasons for this decision are solely personal and respond to the desire to be able to start a new stage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom now on, I am only motivated and excited to be able to lead the Spanish team to another Saladera. We have a very nice challenge ahead of us in Bologna, where, as always, only they, the players, will once again be the true protagonists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Spain are yet to win the Davis Cup under Ferrer\u2019s tenure, although they are one of the clear favourites to do so at this year\u2019s event in Bologna.<\/p>\n<h2>More Carlos Alcaraz news<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/carlos-alcaraz-novak-djokovic-jannik-sinner-concerns-glaring-omission-atp-proposals\">Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner concerns expose glaring omission in ATP proposals<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/dominic-thiem-carlos-alcaraz-better-history-tennis\">Dominic Thiem states what Carlos Alcaraz does better than anyone in the \u2018history of tennis\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p>From 2027, it has been confirmed that Marc Lopez will take charge of the Spanish Davis Cup team, following <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/David-Ferrer\">Ferrer\u2019s<\/a> decision to step away from the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>Lopez is already part of the Spain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/Davis-Cup\">Davis Cup<\/a> squad, so it should be a seamless transition for the top Spanish players.<\/p>\n<p>As for Ferrer and the 2026 event, he has a real dilemma on his hand about his squad selection for his final tournament in charge.<\/p>\n<p>There are several in-form players for Ferrer to choose, particularly after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/Alejandro-Davidovich-Fokina\">Alejandro Davidovich Fokina<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/rafael-jodar\">Rafael Jodar\u2019s<\/a> run to the Shanghai Masters final.<\/p>\n<p>Both men are in excellent form and Jodar made his Davis Cup tie debut earlier this year in Spain\u2019s tie with Chile.<\/p>\n<p>Davidovich Fokina, meanwhile, has often been overlooked by Ferrer, but his three <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/ATP-Tour\">ATP Tour<\/a> titles this year will surely be heard for the captain to ignore.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/carlos-alcaraz\">Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> is a lock should he want to play, while the likes of Marcel Granollers and Pedro Martinez are also in contention for a spot.<\/p>\n<p>The Davis Cup Finals takes place between the 24th and 29th November, with Spain competing against South Korea, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Austria, Czech Republic, and Canada.<\/p>\n<p>Ferrer and Spain are looking to claim the Davis Cup title for their nation for the first time since 2019, when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/rafael-nadal\">Rafael Nadal<\/a> helped his side triumph.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carlos Alcaraz\u2019s next Davis Cup coach confirmed after David Ferrer\u2019s departure Liam McMillen 19 Oct 2026 2:30 PM Carlos Alcaraz celebrating his 2026 Japan Open title win.
