Grigor Dimitrov Ends Eight-Year, Two-Stint Partnership With Coach Daniel Vallverdu

He will begin the 2026 season in Brisbane with a new coaching setup.

Overview

  • Dimitrov announced the split on Instagram, calling their time together an “incredible” eight-year journey across two spells.
  • Vallverdu responded with a courteous message on social media, thanking Dimitrov for the trust and wishing him well.
  • The partnership delivered Dimitrov’s 2017 breakthrough, including the Cincinnati Masters and ATP Finals titles and a year-end No. 3 ranking.
  • An injury-disrupted 2025 featuring pectoral and shoulder issues, surgery, and a US Open absence contributed to his slide to No. 44.
  • Following a September separation from Jamie Delgado, Dimitrov is overhauling his team as coaching changes continue across the ATP Tour.
