He only retired a few months ago, but Andy Murray already has a new job: the Scot, the fourth member of the ‘Big Four’, will be Novak Djokovic’s new coach. “Welcome aboard, coach Andy Murray”the Serbian, who had been without a coach for a few months since the departure of Boris Bosnjakovic, has announced by surprise.
“We’ve played together since we were kids. For 25 years we have been rivals, we have pushed each other beyond our limits. We had some of the most epic battles in our sport. They called us ‘Game Changers’, ‘Risk Takers’, ‘History Makers’. I thought our story might be over, but it turns out it has a final chapter. It’s time for one of my toughest rivals to pass by me. Welcome aboard, coach Andy Murray,” the Balkan announced on social media with the message “he never liked being retired.”
In this way, Murray, 37 years old and who retired after the Paris Olympic Games, faces his first adventure as coach, replacing Bosnjakovic as coach of the former world number one and winner of 24 ‘Grand Slam’ titles.
Djokovic and Murray met 36 times on the ATP circuit, with 25 wins for the Serbian tennis player and 11 for the British. On the last occasion they met, Nole beat his now coach at the Mutua Madrid Open 2022.
