Ferrero announces that he will return to training in 2027

Completely unexpected bombshell that occurred before the Elche-Real Madrid match this Tuesday night. Juan Carlos Ferrero spoke with Movistar+ before the match started, and surprised everyone by announcing that he will return to coaching in 2027 on the tennis circuit. What he did not want to reveal is the player he will coach, which has now led to many speculations.

Ferrero has not been coaching since parting ways with Carlos Alcaraz unexpectedly at the end of 2025. In fact, he himself did not expect it, as he later acknowledged. He had mentioned that he would take 2026 off, but he will return in 2027 with new challenges. "This year I am very calm, enjoying family time and preparing for what is coming next year. I believe I will return to the tennis circuit, but I cannot say with whom," he acknowledged.

Will Ferrero coach Jannik Sinner?

As expected, the question now is who the player is that has contacted Juan Carlos to start a new project. On a national level, the most promising name is Rafa Jódar, who so far only has his father in his corner. More than one expert has advised him that he should add a more authoritative voice to his box, and perhaps this is the moment. 

However, it is impossible not to think about a possible partnership between Juan Carlos Ferrero and Jannik Sinner. The Spaniard has already stated that he would have no problem coaching the current number 1 if the opportunity arose, and it should also be noted that initially Darren Cahill (Sinner's coach) will leave the team at the end of the year. Some would see it as a betrayal to Alcaraz, but one should never say never.
