London: Andy Murray is open to a return to coaching “at some stage” but said he still has plenty to learn about the role, Reports Dynamite News correspondent.
The 38-year-old, who retired from tennis at the 2024 Olympics, joined long-time rival Novak Djokovic’s coaching team last November.
However, the pair parted company in May 2025 after just four tournaments together, with former number one Djokovic stating he “couldn’t get more” out of their partnership.
Murray was positive about the six months he and Djokovic spent together, hailing the “unique” experience of working with “one of the best athletes of all time”, while also stating he had not planned on making the transition into coaching quite so soon after hanging up his racquet.
“I would do it again at some stage. I don’t think that will happen immediately,” he told BBC Sport’s Clare Balding at the unveiling of the Andy Murray Arena at the Queen’s Club on Monday.
“I wasn’t planning on going into coaching as soon as I finished playing but it was a pretty unique opportunity. It was a chance to learn from one of the best athletes of all time.
“You also learn a lot about how to work with a team. As an individual athlete, you have a team of people around you, but you’re the focal point whereas when you’re coaching an individual, you’re working with a physio, physical trainers, agents, and you need to know how to get your message across to the player and find out what makes them tick. That was the thing I learned and something
I need to work on if I want to do it again in the future.
“It was a brilliant opportunity for me. We got to spend some really nice moments away from the court. Results weren’t as we wanted but we gave it a go.
“We’ll see about coaching in the future but I don’t think that will happen for a while.
