Carlos Alcaraz May Welcome Andy Murray to His Coaching Team by 2026

According to Punto de Break, Alcaraz’s team showed interest in bringing Murray on board back in 2024. At that time, Murray chose to work with Novak Djokovic.

Now, with Ferrero no longer in the picture and Murray available, Alcaraz has a clear opportunity to make this transition.

Murray is a former world number one and 46-time ATP champion, making him an experienced choice for any player. Alcaraz may want to act quickly to secure his services before someone else does.

Interestingly, Murray helped Djokovic defeat Alcaraz at the 2025 Australian Open, with their personal meetings being evenly split.

Andy Murray’s Coaching Experience

Murray, who stopped playing in August 2024, has already collaborated with one of the sport’s best players.

He teamed up with Djokovic just before the last Australian Open, at a time when Djokovic was aiming for more historical achievements.

During that period, Murray assisted Djokovic in reaching the semi-finals, although that run ended when Djokovic retired against Alexander Zverev. However, this was not uncharted territory for him.

There are notable differences between Djokovic and Alcaraz in their careers. Djokovic boasts 10 titles at the Australian Open, while Alcaraz has yet to progress beyond the quarter-finals there.

After their six-month partnership ended, Murray opened up to new opportunities, including potential roles with rising stars like Alcaraz.

Having coached Djokovic, Murray gained valuable insights that could help any young talent aiming to excel in the sport.

However, mentoring a 22-year-old emerging player like Alcaraz would present a different challenge compared to guiding an established champion like Djokovic.
