Ferrero Explains Alcaraz Split Over Contract Disagreements as Samuel López Takes Charge

Ferrero calls the decision painful, unrelated to results.

Overview

  • After seven years and 24 titles, both parties ended the partnership following failed end‑of‑year renegotiation on future terms, according to Ferrero.
  • The coach says finances were discussed but were not his priority, and he plans a short break before considering new projects.
  • Ferrero emphasizes there was no breakdown in trust or performance and leaves the door open to future contact with Alcaraz.
  • Samuel López, already part of the team, has stepped up as lead coach and is running Alcaraz’s pre‑season work in Murcia.
  • Alcaraz resumed training and posted holiday greetings without addressing the split, as his father declined to detail the decision beyond saying each person is free to share their view.
