Jannik Sinner will be on the hunt for a new coach once Darren Cahill steps down.
During the World number one’s Australian Open title defence, it was announced that Cahill will no longer be the Italian’s coach after 2025 has concluded.
The Australian plans to take a step back from step back from full-time tour travel after being a coach for over 20 years.
He has helped tackle Sinner to the top of the men’s game and he plans to end his time working with him on a high.
Former World number one Carlos Moya recommended to be Jannik Sinner’s next coach
Jannik Sinner has enjoyed the most successful period of his career with Cahill as his coach.
Since the end of 2023 Sinner has become a three-time Grand Slam champion, two-time Davis Cup winner, and the World number one.
The 23-year-old plans to add to his list of achievements in what is his final season with Cahill coaching him.
But when Cahill steps down, it remains to be seen who will take over, and Sinner’s trainer Riccardo Piatti named three possible replacements, including Rafael Nadal’s former coach Carlos Moya.
“I’d like to see Carlos Moya in that position. He was the world number one, he knows the Tour very well. He’s a very good person, just like Darren,” said Piatti, according to reports.
“Another good candidate is Renzo Furlan, who just finished working with Jasmine Paolini. Ljubicic is also good, as is Becker. However, Boris can be difficult.”
Who has Carlos Moya coached?
After a successful playing career in which he won the French Open and became the World number one, Moya decided to go into coaching.
Six years after his retirement in 2010, Moya briefly coached Milos Raonic, before becoming Nadal’s main coach in 2016.
Moya took over from the 38-year-old’s uncle Toni Nadal, and in the eight years that the pair were together, they enjoyed plenty of success.
Nadal won eight Grand Slams while working with Moya and he also reclaimed the World number one ranking and finished 2017 and 2019 as the top-ranked player.
Under Moya Nadal broke the all-time male Grand Slams record when he came back from two sets down to win the 2022 Australian Open.
Nadal retired in November 2024 after Spain was eliminated from the Davis Cup finals, bringing his partnership with Moya to an end.
