Andy Murray new supercoach for Carlos Alcaraz? The news, launched by Break Pointis going around the world and in Spain it is monopolizing the attention in these last days of 2025. The name of the Scotsman, three-time slam winner and two-time Olympic gold medalist, was immediately put on the list of candidates after the breakup of the world number one with Juan Carlos Ferrero, but now it seems that there is something much more concrete. Murray, former coach of Novak Djokovic, would have been contacted by the Alcaraz team, always very influential, and discussions are ongoing.

Again according to the Spanish journalist José Morón, the six-time slam winner’s desire to work with Andy would not be new. In fact, Alcaraz and Ferrero had already been very close to breaking up, at the end of 2024, and even then there was pressure from the player’s closest circle for a radical change and the name, even at the time, was to do so by hiring Murray. Then the Scotsman, in a surprise move, was hired by Novak Djokovic, but the collaboration between the two former rivals lasted only a few months. However, just enough time to beat Alcaraz himself in the quarter-finals of the 2025 Australian Open.

Moron then recounted how the differences between the world number one and Ferrero actually dated back to the end of 2023, following an inconsistent season finale for Alcaraz. After a brilliant 2024, with two slam titles, another disappointing season finale, with a defeat in the second round at the US Open and an elimination in the Finals group, would have reignited tensions between Ferrero and Alcaraz’s team. Even after the Australian Open the two were very close to saying goodbye, but a great 2025 then postponed it. Until a few days ago.
