Overview
- In a Marca interview, Juan Carlos Ferrero said unresolved contractual and structural issues prompted the split, not sporting problems or distrust.
- Ferrero emphasized that money was not the driver, noted he had been well compensated early in the project, and said he feels hurt and will take time before new work.
- Samuel López, already part of the setup, has assumed the lead coaching role and is running Alcaraz’s preseason in Murcia.
- Asked about the decision, Alcaraz’s father declined to elaborate, telling EFE that each person is free to offer an opinion based on what they know.
- Local reports indicated several coaches offered their services without a hire, while Garbiñe Muguruza voiced surprise at the timing after Alcaraz’s eight-title, year-end No. 1 season in 2025.
