Juan Carlos Ferrero Confirms 2027 Coaching Comeback but Declines to Name Player

The announcement signals renewed jockeying among top players for a coach who guided Carlos Alcaraz to six major titles and world No. 1.

Overview

  • Ferrero told Movistar+ this week that he will return to tour coaching in 2027 but would not disclose which player he will work with.
  • Media outlets and analysts have focused speculation on Jannik Sinner and Spanish teen Rafael Jodar as the likeliest candidates for Ferrero’s next appointment.
  • Several journalists have cited limited-sourced reports claiming Ferrero is set to join Sinner’s camp for 2027, but those reports remain unverified and no team has confirmed a deal.
  • If Ferrero did join Sinner it could mean a replacement in Sinner’s support team and would bring Alcaraz’s former coach into the box of one of his chief rivals, altering tactical dynamics between top players.
  • Ferrero’s seven-year partnership with Alcaraz produced 24 tour titles and six Grand Slams, Jodar is currently coached only by his father as he builds a team, and all sides say any official hires will be announced in due course.
