Eurosport tennis expert Alex Corretja has backed Andy Murray to succeed as Novak Djokovic’s new trainer. Djokovic recently made the surprise announcement that Murray, who only retired this year, would be teaming up with him as trainer. The 37-year-old has fallen down the world rankings of late, and is currently world No. 8 in men’s tennis.

Delgado was assistant coach under Ivan Lendl to Murray when he won his second Wimbledon title in 2016 before he went on to finish the year as world No.1. He reckoned the job is a “great challenge that Andy will relish” and with Djokovic perhaps entering his final season: “If Andy was going to do this, he had to do it now.”

Recently retired Andy Murray will team up with Novak Djokovic, working with him as a coach through the Australian Open in January.

"It’s time for one of my toughest opponents to step into my corner. Welcome on board, Coach — Andy Murray,” Djokovic said

French tennis star Nicolas Mahut believes Novak Djokovic could aim “violent” outbursts towards Andy Murray when they begin working together. Djokovic has enlisted his long-time rival to be his new coach and Murray will join the Serb’s team during the off-season through into the Australian Open.

A message from 1959 French Open champion Christine Truman popped into my inbox as I cooked the bacon on Sunday morning. “Do you think Andy will opt for some GB youngsters after Djokovic for coaching?” Truman summed up what a lot of people are thinking after Saturday afternoon’s bombshell.

Djokovic on Saturday announced that Murray will be joining his team as a coach through the 2025 Australian Open.

Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic has announced Andy Murray as his new head coach in a shocking development. The Serbian star has been without a head coach since parting ways with Goran Ivanisevic.
