Andy Murray Keeping The Window Open For Return To Coaching
Serbian Djokovic enlisted Murray's help before this year's Australian Open, and in February, during the Qatar Open, he mentioned they would continue working together indefinitely. Despite this, the 24-time Grand Slam champion experienced a disappointing run of form, leading to their separation last month before the French Open. Murray told the BBC on Monday that he would consider coaching again at some point, though not immediately. He explained that coaching was not his initial plan after retiring from playing, but the opportunity was unique. 'I think I would do it again' 🤔Andy Murray hasn't closed the door on a return to coaching, but doesn't expect it to 'happen for a while' 🎾 — BBC Sport (@BBCSport) June 9, 2025 He highlighted the chance to learn from one of the greatest athletes of all time and to understand how to work effectively with a team, including a physio, physical trainers, and agents. Murray noted that communicating effectively with the player and understanding their motivations was a key learning point and something he would need to improve on if he decided to coach again. Although their six-month partnership did not yield any titles, Murray reflected positively on his time with Djokovic. He described it as a brilliant opportunity and cherished the moments they spent off the court. While they did not achieve the results they had hoped for, they made a solid effort. Murray concluded by stating that he does not foresee a return to coaching in the immediate future.
