Carlos Alcaraz reportedly explored a coaching change in late 2024, considering Andy Murray as a potential replacement for his long-time coach Juan Carlos Ferrero. However, this plan was reportedly thwarted when Murray joined Novak Djokovic's coaching team. Alcaraz recently parted ways with Ferrero, who had guided him to six Grand Slam titles and the world No. 1 ranking. Despite the split, Ferrero and assistant coach Samuel López were recognized as ATP Coaches of the Year for Alcaraz's successful 2025 season.
