Andy Murray retired from his playing career after the 2024 Olympic Games, bringing his trophy-laden chapter to a close.

Later that year, Novak Djokovic announced a new coaching partnership with Murray.

The pair worked together for six months, before parting ways ahead of the 2025 French Open.

Murray has steered clear of the coaching arena since parting ways with the Serbian superstar.

However, could he return in the future?

Andy Murray says he would coach again in the future

“I think at some stage I probably would (consider a return to coaching),” Murray said during an interview with The Athletic.

“My priorities are lying elsewhere just now, but I would do it again in the future.

“I do like the idea of helping a much younger player, a little bit like — not that I would expect it to turn out like this — the (Juan Carlos) Ferrero-(Carlos) Alcaraz relationship.

“A younger player that you’re really able to help and have a really positive influence on. I would find something like that quite interesting but certainly not right now.”

Murray has previously spoken of his admiration for Carlos Alcaraz, suggesting that he would choose to coach the Spaniard ahead of any other ATP player.

Murray could be the ideal coach for a number of players on the ATP and WTA Tour.

The British star, who won three Grand Slam titles, has a wealth of experience to draw upon.

Murray was one of the most heavily scrutinised players in tennis history and if anyone knows how to handle the pressure, it is him.

These experiences could be used to shape the career of a young star on the professional circuit, improving their mental fortitude on and off the court.

Who coached Andy Murray during his career?

Murray was first coached by Leon Smith, who went on to become Great Britain’s Davis Cup captain.

Esteemed Colombian-born Spanish coach Pato Alvarez took over the reins in 2004.

Following Alvarez’s departure, Murray enjoyed short stints with Mark Petchey and Brad Gilbert, before spending four years on the Tour with Miles McClagan in his coaching box.

After a short stint with Alex Corretja, Murray hired Ivan Lendl, with whom the British star enjoyed the most successful period of his career.

Under Lendl’s tutelage, Murray won three Grand Slam titles and two Olympic gold medals.

Murray also worked with Amelie Mauresmo, Jamie Delgado, Jonas Bjorkman and Dani Vallverdu during his career.
