Corretja, on Nadal: “I don’t see Rafa as a coach or advisor for anyone”

The former Spanish tennis player talks about the possibility of a future in Rafa Nadal’s circuit: “I would see him more as an advisor for something big“.

It has been a few days already, although most of the world is still processing the fact that Andy Murray is the new coach of Novak Djokovic. From a historic rivalry on the court, the former British tennis player, who retired last July at Wimbledon with his loved ones, surprises the entire planet by announcing his next adventure: accompanying the Serbian player on the circuit as his coach. This unexpected move raises new questions about possible scenarios that could unfold in the future.

One of those questions is: Can you imagine Rafa Nadal becoming a coach on the circuit in the coming months? Àlex Corretja has hardly any doubts about his answer: “From my point of view, it is impossible, 99.9% impossible, because one can never take anything for granted in life,” confessed the former Spanish player speaking with Eurosport.

“I would see him more as an advisor for something big…”

“It would surprise me a lot. I think he will need some time to think about what he really wants to do. I have the impression that, although he has children and is busy at home, Andy has less to do in his daily life. Rafa lives in Manacor and has his academy, so I don’t see him traveling much. Maybe Andy still wanted to travel, have these experiences. I don’t see Rafa as a coach or advisor for anyone. I would see him more as an advisor for something big like Real Madrid, contributing something to the club by giving some talks,” explained Corretja. “I envision it for a short period of time, three or six months, but not an everyday thing.”
