The parting message from Juan Carlos Ferrero after the shock news that his days as Carlos Alcaraz\u2019s<\/a> coach had come to an end left the door open for a possible reunion, but that option appears to have been slammed shut by the events of recent days.<\/p>\n

No one saw the highly successful partnership of Ferrero and Alcaraz coming to an end after a year that saw the Spaniard claim two more Grand Slam titles and finish 2025 as world No 1.<\/p>\n

Ferrero was named Coach of the Year a few days before he was removed from the entourage of the world\u2019s top player.<\/p>\n

Yet there was a perception that this very close bond that has been built since Alcaraz emerged as a rising star of Spanish tennis could be repaired when heads cleared and at some stage in the New Year.<\/p>\n

That was before Ferrero spoke to the media about his anger and annoyance at his very public termination, with these comments confirming that the split with Team Alcaraz is more than just a blip in their story.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything seemed to be going well,\u201d Ferrero told Marca. \u201cIt\u2019s true that when a year ends, certain things need to be reviewed regarding contracts. And as with any new contract, looking ahead to the following year, there were certain things we disagreed on.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs with all contracts, one side pulls in one direction and the other in another. Carlos\u2019s camp thinks about what\u2019s best for him, and mine thinks about what\u2019s best for me. There were certain issues on which both parties disagreed.<\/p>\n

\u201cPerhaps they could have been resolved if we had sat down to talk, but in the end, we didn\u2019t, and we decided not to continue. That\u2019s really what happened.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are points I won\u2019t go into detail about, but we disagreed on them, and ultimately, we went our separate ways.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think maybe we both need some time to fully process this breakup. It\u2019s not so easy. Right now, I\u2019m hurting.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese kinds of relationships are difficult to end overnight. And there has to be a grieving period. And, above all, I suppose it will also hurt when I see him play in tournaments. A lot of shared experiences come into play there. I think it\u2019s going to take some time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alcaraz\u2019s camp will not be impressed by Ferrero\u2019s decision to speak to the media so soon after the split, but the former French Open champion doubtless felt he need to put his point across amid claims that his excessive financial demands were part of the reason for his exit.<\/p>\n

Ferrero confirmed he was given a healthy percentage of Alcaraz\u2019s winnings in his initial agreements with the Spanish champion, as he was playing such a key role in his early development.<\/p>\n

As Alcaraz\u2019s prize money rose, its as inevitable that Ferrero would need to take a smaller cut of his earnings, but was keen to douse that theory as he stated: \u201cI\u2019ve tried to make it clear that the financial issue wasn\u2019t one of the problems and it was not the reason I was in this project.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now the onus will flip back to Alcaraz to explain the split when he faces the media ahead of the Australian Open and it\u2019s inevitable that this story will be a distraction for the 22-year-old as he looks to win the only Grand Slam title missing from his collection at the Australian Open next month.<\/p>\n
