Carlos Alcaraz’s former coach Juan Carlos Ferrero will join American Ben Shelton’s coaching team ahead of the 2027 season.
The former World No. 1 Spaniard, who helped Alcaraz capture six major titles, will join Shelton’s father Bryan in the 24-year-old’s team.
“Ben has extraordinary talent, power and character. I’m very happy to join Bryan and the team in this exciting new chapter,” Ferrero said.
Shelton won titles in Dallas, Munich, Stuttgart and Montreal before reaching the US Open final this year.
The World No. 4 American is currently preparing for the Paris Masters and season-ending ATP Finals this month. He will begin working with Ferrero during the close season.
“Juan Carlos is one of the great minds in tennis,” Shelton said. “His experience of winning at the highest level and developing champions will be a huge asset to our team.”
