The information that has come from the team of Carlos Alcaraz after his split with Juan Carlos Ferrero has been varied, of diverse nature. Will a new name be added to the team led by Samuel López? Is the coach from the Juan Carlos Academy chosen to lead the Murcian ship in the long term, or does he know that he will soon be accompanied by a new figure? The coming months (and perhaps the results) will dictate the verdict, but until then, the list of names that could fit working with Carlos Alcaraz is by no means a trivial matter.

The wear and tear of the relationship with Ferrero on the part of the Carlos Alcaraz circle has been visible over time, and even at moments over the past two years, a change has been considered. Sporting results buried any search for transformation and solidified a bond that seemed unbreakable, but the differences and unsettled issues in a fateful 48 hours brought us back to square one. What possible candidates could work alongside Carlos Alcaraz? We propose five names that sound really good at least... and with plenty of arguments to fit wonderfully alongside the genius of El Palmar.

ANDY MURRAY

The Scotsman was a personal favorite of the Alcaraz family, who considered his availability a year ago. His experience with Djokovic, of four very intense months that entailed tremendous strain, has deterred the idea of continued frequent training. The Brit has always highly praised Carlos's tennis, highlighting his strengths and offering him numerous pieces of advice when they crossed paths on the circuit, where they even faced off in 2021. Another added issue, of course, would be his ability to relocate and base himself in Murcia during certain times of the year: as attractive as this fit may sound, the lack of geographical proximity cools what could be a magnificent union.

GORAN IVANISEVIC

His eagerness to enter projects as different and risky as those of Stefanos Tsitsipas or Elena Rybakina makes one think that the Croatian's motivation to work with Carlos Alcaraz would be very high. Among the "available" coaches, none have won as much as he has, taking the careers of Cilic and Djokovic to another level. He would be the ideal choice to further raise the ceiling of his service... but, perhaps, his working style, with a "hard hand" approach, is very similar to that of Ferrero, and the potential lack of freedom that Carlos might feel makes the Goran option again a bit chilly, despite the numerous advantages it would bring.

NICOLÁS ALMAGRO

If one of the minor issues that Alcaraz's circle could encounter is the possibility of a high-profile coach being based in Murcia, with Nico, this is all ruled out. Few bets could turn out better in terms of character and proximity: their personalities fit like a glove, he has top-level experience, knows the entire team, and has the courage not to hold back doubts and fears. The downside? It is indeed a gamble; he lacks experience and a background as a coach at the highest level. A risky bet, but one that would enhance talent and carry the "Murcia brand" worldwide.

DAVID FERRER

If there's one thing Ferrer knows, it's how to tame and refine a beast with whom he has already worked in the Davis Cup. His methodology and character also align perfectly with Carlos, diverging from that "hard hand" profile and being a coach who listens and understands his players (he has practically been the only one to end his partnership with Alexander Zverev on good terms). However, a couple of doubts arise: David's eagerness to travel more frequently (although he would share many events with Samu) and his contractual situation with the Spanish Federation, with whom he is under contract until 2027. Nevertheless, much to teach and a great friendship with Carlos and his entire team.

CARLOS MOYÁ

The Alcaraz family's winningest bet would be to hire the man who enhanced the performance and transformed the tennis of Rafael Nadal. A new pairing of number ones that would delight the public: Moyá, moreover, has nothing to envy tactically to Ferrero, has been able to create highly successful game plans against the best, and firsthand knows Alcaraz's lifestyle. He himself tried to make the public understand that balance on the court is found by enjoying life outside it... and it worked very well for him. His connection to the Nadal Academy and the rumors linking him to Jannik Sinner could be a hindrance, but betting on the likes of Carlos Alcaraz seems sufficient to avoid major drawbacks. The dream pairing?
