Former world No 4 Guy Forget has described one of the possible reasons for Carlos Alcaraz\u2019s split with Juan Carlos Ferrero as \u201cridiculous.\u201d<\/p>\n
It was revealed last Wednesday that\u00a0Alcaraz<\/a> and Ferrero had parted ways, bringing an end to a player-coach partnership that was formed in 2018.<\/p>\n Neither Alcaraz nor Ferrero have directly shared the reasons for the end of their partnership, but reports have shed some light on the situation<\/p>\n Reports in the Spanish media have claimed that the main reason for the split was that Ferrero was offered a reduced financial sum and some additional changes to the relationship that he was not happy with.<\/p>\n A source close to Ferrero, speaking to CLAY and RG Media, said: \u201cWhat happened is very simple. The contract was annual.<\/p>\n \u201cThe 2025 contract ended at the end of November, and they waited until Saturday the 13th of this month to present a new one and until Monday the 15th at the first hour to sign it. Juan Carlos did not accept it, and they did not want to make any changes.\u201d<\/p>\n According to CLAY, when that contract arrived, Ferrero had two days to read and sign it. He made a counter-offer that was not accepted.<\/p>\n Another source told CLAY and RG Media: \u201cThere were significant disagreements between Ferrero and Alcaraz\u2019s father about how to manage the player\u2019s career.\u201d<\/p>\n In an interview with Tennis Actu, Forget weighed in on the news and addressed the reported reasons for the split.<\/p>\n \u201cWell\u2026 I\u2019m a little surprised. I think, like many tennis enthusiasts, because the collaboration was more than fruitful. We know how much Carlos Alcaraz owes to Juan Carlos Ferrero, who has coached him for many years,\u201d said the Frenchman.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd we don\u2019t really know the root of the problem\u2014I wouldn\u2019t say \u2018the problem\u2019, but what really happened between them \u2014 especially since it\u2019s just a few weeks before the next season. So we can imagine they\u2019re already preparing.<\/p>\n Tennis News<\/p>\n Carlos Alcaraz\u2019s coach makes \u2018unity\u2019 comment as he breaks silence after Juan Carlos Ferrero split<\/a><\/p>\n
