Since retiring from the sport in 2006, Andre Agassi has only had a small number of brief attempts at coaching in tennis.
In 2017, Agassi was appointed by Novak Djokovic, but the two legends parted ways a year later, with the American citing too many disagreements in the player-coach relationship.

He then joined Grigor Dimitrov‘s team in 2018 and stayed with the Bulgarian until 2020 before splitting.
Agassi also had a short spell with Holger Rune last summer, having worked with the Dane on a three-day trial period.
Andre Agassi says it is easier to help players ‘from a distance’
In an interview with ‘New Balls Please!‘, Agassi was asked if he will consider becoming a permanent coach for anyone on the tour at some point.
He responded: “I do a lot of helping that people don’t know, when it comes to players. But travelling and this sort of thing is a little tough. Coaching requires a bandwidth and a lot of time.
“I even make the argument that sometimes you can be more help from a distance, as you can become a sense of reason and objectivity.
“You can give them perspective that keeps somebody pointed towards their own north star.
“I can make arguments that sometimes it’s easier to help from a distance rather than day after day after day.”
Andre Agassi’s success as a captain at the Laver Cup in 2025
Though he has not coached anyone individually since 2020, Agassi became captain of Team World at last year’s Laver Cup for the first time.
Going up against strong Team Europe, led by Carlos Alcaraz, Agassi’s side ultimately came out on top 15-9.
His team earned a number of big results, including Taylor Fritz’s win over Alcaraz and Alex de Minaur’s victory against Alexander Zverev.
Young stars also thrived with Agassi in their corner, including Joao Fonseca and Alex Michelsen, who both earned points for Team World.
