Andy Murray has already received some advice about his next coaching role after taking on a job with his biggest rival, Novak Djokovic. The announcement came as a surprise. Many thought that, if Murray went down the coaching route, he would work with another Brit.

In a recent interview with ‘L’Equipe’, Daniil Medvedev’s coach Gilles Cervara opened up on Murray’s new role: “Knowing Murray, I’m not surprised by what’s happening because I knew he wouldn’t be able to stay still for more than two or three months after his retirement.

Djokovic announced this past week that Murray would join his team as a coach at least through the 2025 Australian Open.

Novak Djokovic announced that Andy Murray will be his coach for the offseason and Australian Open in a post to social media on Saturday.

Novak Djokovic says his decision to appoint former rival Andy Murray as his coach was "a surprise to everyone" but is "exciting for tennis".
