Overview
- Speaking to Radio Nacional España, Juan Carlos Ferrero said a new contract sent by Carlos Alcaraz's camp contained terms he could not accept and the sides failed to reach an agreement.
- Ferrero described himself as loyal to his values, noted there were few clauses in his favor previously, and added he did not anticipate a split after their return from Bologna.
- He said there were no arguments throughout the year with Alcaraz or his team, and he has not yet spoken with the player but plans to reach out later.
- In a Christmas Day interview with Marca, Ferrero said people close to Alcaraz believed separation was best; Alcaraz’s father replied via Efe that everyone is free to express an opinion based on what they know.
- Ferrero stated that assistant Samuel has sufficient experience to coach Alcaraz alone and that he intends to take a break to rest, be with family, and consider future projects.
