Juan Carlos Ferrero Joins Ángel Ayora’s Team as Mental-Performance Coach

The former Alcaraz mentor takes a limited-schedule consulting role focused on mindset with the 21-year-old Spanish golfer.

Overview

  • Ferrero announced he will work on mental preparation and professional development with Ayora alongside coach Juan Ochoa and All In Sports Group.
  • He has already begun the collaboration and was with Ayora during the Dubai Desert Classic, where he will not be present at every event.
  • Ferrero told TenGolf the arrangement is for this season with plans to attend roughly eight to ten weeks of tournaments and to continue remote support between events.
  • He will keep leading his Villena academy and remains open to future ATP coaching opportunities without taking on a full-time player now.
  • The move follows his December split with Carlos Alcaraz, which Ferrero said stemmed from contract-term disagreements, while Ayora enters 2026 with a Challenge Tour win and DP World Tour status.
