Ferrero Explains Alcaraz Split Over Contract Terms as López Takes the Reins

Ferrero attributes the break to unresolved contract terms, not academy rivalry or money.

Overview

  • The seven-year partnership ended shortly after Alcaraz capped 2025 with eight titles and the year-end No. 1 ranking.
  • Ferrero says renegotiation talks exposed irreconcilable contractual and structural differences and that a lack of further discussion led both sides to stop.
  • He rejects claims about academy conflicts or demands to relocate training to Villena and says finances were not his priority.
  • Ferrero describes himself as hurt, plans a brief hiatus before considering offers, and stresses a cordial relationship with Alcaraz’s camp.
  • Samuel López, already part of the setup, is directing preseason work in Murcia, with local reports indicating the team may assess additional coaching options without a new hire confirmed.
