Djokovic is looking to find a new coach

Novak Djokovic says that he looking for another big name coach following the recent split with his entire team, but isn’t in a rush.

In Madrid, Djokovic spoke to the press for the first time since announcing that he is no longer working with his coach Marian Vajda, his trainer Gebhard Phil Gritsch or his physical therapist Miljan Amanovic.

According to Djokovic, the team had a similar discussion before the season began and decided to stick together, but agreed changes were required following his loss to David Goffin in Monte Carlo.

Djokovic, who had also brought on six-time Grand Slam champion Boris Becker from 2013 to 2016, indicated he would be looking for someone new.

“I also know that I’ll not stay by myself without a tennis coach for too long,” Djokovic said.

According to the ATP, Djokovic is in Madrid with another physiotherapist who has been working with him for several months.

Djokovic has had dips in his career before, taking three years to win a second major following the 2008 Australian Open, and also dropped multiple Slam finals between 2012 and 2013.
