Obviously the number one in the world needs

a full-time coach and a coach...

...who makes… who lives his life depending

on the player’s life and not the other way around. I will give you

an argument, for example. If the number one

in the world travels to Buenos Aires, normally

his coach travels to Buenos Aires. If the

number one in the world trains in Murcia, normally

his coach travels to Murcia… …and

they train there, not the other way around. And then there is the

money issue. Ferrero believes that his work

is worth X, like any of us with our own work.

And Carlos’s father and the people who are

around Carlos have considered… …that

Ferrero’s work is worth a bit less than

X. If you want it, fine, and if not, the law of business,

it can happen to any of us.

In tennis, also, sometimes part of the salary

depends on the prize money, on the prizes that

the player wins throughout the year, and there

the team gets a percentage, the whole team

around Carlos. And of course, that percentage,

quite high, in Juan Carlos’s case, quite,

is not the same if Carlos is just starting his career

and earns, I’m making this up, eh, one million dollars

a year… …as if, like in this 2025, he earns 19.

Obviously it changes a lot. So well,

the last meeting that was held… …after

a lot of back and forth, was last week,

well, a few days ago, and Juan Carlos

said, “I want X,” and there was no X. And more or less

that is how the story ends. I think there is no

personal problem, I think that Juan Carlos

and Carlos are going to love each other all their lives,

I do not know to what extent this can affect Carlos

in his career, because Juan Carlos was a great

counterweight… …and someone who told him things

very directly and so on, but it has ended like this.

Now you already know that Samu López is traveling in Australia,

and what I can tell you is that people are going

around saying… …if he is going to stay all year,

no, Samu López is not going to be the head coach

of Carlos Alcaraz… - He is an interim. - As

soon as they find another one, that is… …more or less

an interim, but he is going to stay on the team,

uh, and he is an important figure. And I can

tell you that the whole team is staying with Carlos.

A large part of them came out of Juan Carlos’s academy,

in fact some of them were still working at the academy, so

I think one of them, well the whole team more or less

is is staying loyal with

Carlos. And now we have to look for that figure who

is hard to find, you know. Because you have to want to travel,

you have to want to train in Murcia when

there are no tournaments… and you have to have the

level to coach a world number one.

It is hard to find that kind of person. Some names have already

come up, I have heard a few, I know they have called

someone, I know that person, for example, has

said no, because he is not willing and does not need to

meet those conditions… and we will see

what happens. If it does not…
