As expected, experts and analysts are already predicting the direction his career will take, but the most interesting question is who will be Carlos’ next coach.
Samuel Lopez is currently Carlos Alcaraz’s interim coach and at the end of 2024 he joined the Spanish player’s team as Ferrer’s assistant.
Carlos SantosAlcaraz’s first coach spoke openly about Carlos Alcaraz’s future in a recent interview with Eurosport Spain, emphasizing that there are several candidates who could succeed Juan Carlos Ferrer.
However, Santos expects that such a coach must be ready to live in Murcia and be someone who can suit the 22-year-old. While some believe Samuel could be a coach in the long run, Santos isn’t so sure about such a scenario.
“There will be another coach. I can’t tell you who, but it has to be someone who is willing to be in Murcia, to live here in Murcia. And someone who will make everything very comfortable and easy for Carlitos.”Santos said.
New coach
Alcaraz’s first coach is aware that something is happening behind the scenes, but things are still unknown and the question is when new information will emerge.
“At the moment, the coaches closest to it are busy. Like David Ferrer for example, who is busy with other things and is relatively close to us. So I am sure that Samuel will not be head coach for the whole season. Absolutely. Something is already in the works, we won’t know anything about it yet, but I am sure that before they let Juan Carlos go, they already spoke to someone.”
Speaking of David Ferrer as the Spanish tennis player’s next coach, Santos has mixed feelings and is unsure how long Alcaraz will need to settle down and focus on the next challenges. This is why he expects Jannik to dominate next year and be the main competitor for the Grand Slams.
