Rafael Nadal has indicated a potential return to the Davis Cup in a new role, possibly as captain, after retiring from professional play. While he firmly stated his playing career is over, Nadal expressed openness to the idea of leading Spain's Davis Cup team in the future, suggesting it could be enjoyable. He emphasized that it's too early to consider such a role immediately, as he is still adapting to retirement and prioritizing family life over continuous travel associated with regular tour coaching.
