Ferrero Signals 2027 Coaching Return but Has No Confirmed Role

Ferrero has publicly rejected repeated approaches for Flavio Cobolli, ruled out coaching to spite Carlos Alcaraz, and said he would consider Rafael Jodar if an offer materializes.

Overview

  • This week Ferrero reiterated his plan to return to coaching on the ATP Tour in 2027 while stressing he currently has no finalized appointment.
  • He told multiple interviews that earlier comments about a comeback were taken out of context and that he has not signed with any player.
  • Ferrero denied he would join Jannik Sinner’s team to ‘bother’ or seek revenge on his former pupil Carlos Alcaraz and asked people to respect his decision.
  • Stefano Cobolli says he has sought Ferrero for his son Flavio several times and that Ferrero has declined those approaches three or four times.
  • Ferrero said he is open to considering 19‑year‑old Rafael Jodar if an offer comes, a move that could shift rivalries and prompt rival camps to pursue established coaches.
