Carlos Moya Denies Rumours of Coaching Jannik Sinner: What’s Really Going On?

In the fast-moving world of tennis, rumours often spread faster than official confirmations. One such recent story claimed that Carlos Moya, former coach of Rafael Nadal, is set to coach Jannik Sinner, the current World No. 1, starting in 2026. This news quickly circulated across tennis forums and websites, especially after reports suggested that Moya would replace Darren Cahill, who is expected to retire after the 2025 season.

However, Carlos Moya has now spoken out and clearly denied these rumours. In a recent interview, he called the report “fake news,” and explained that there is no truth to the idea that he will be coaching Jannik Sinner in the future.

At Sky Sports, we aim to provide clear, verified, and well-presented sports coverage. This article offers a closer look at how the rumour started, Moya’s response, and what fans can expect next in the world of professional tennis.

The Origin of the Rumour

The rumour about Carlos Moya’s future role began when a Russian media outlet reported that Moya would take over coaching Jannik Sinner in 2026. This story gained attention because Darren Cahill, one of Sinner’s current coaches, has already announced his retirement by the end of the 2025 season.

Given Moya’s impressive track record with Rafael Nadal, the idea of him joining Sinner’s team seemed plausible to many fans and tennis followers. However, the story had no official confirmation from either Moya or Sinner’s team.

At Sky Sports, we encourage readers to always verify such claims through trustworthy sources before forming conclusions.

Moya’s Official Statement

Carlos Moya did not waste time in addressing the rumours. Speaking to Radio Nacional de España, he stated:

“Me as his coach? Fake news as big as a house.”

This strong statement was Moya’s way of putting a clear stop to the speculation. He explained that he was surprised by the story and had not had any discussions with Jannik Sinner or his team regarding a coaching role.

Moya’s focus remains elsewhere for now, and he has not hinted at any plans to return to coaching another top player in the near future.

This kind of clear and direct communication helps put such rumours to rest. For Indian fans who closely follow the sport, this is an example of why it is important to rely on accurate, confirmed news — something we at Sky Sports prioritise with every report.

Sinner’s Current Coaching Team

At present, Jannik Sinner is coached by Darren Cahill and Simone Vagnozzi. The team has worked together since 2022 and has achieved some remarkable success. Under their guidance, Sinner won both the Australian Open and the US Open in 2024 and reached the top spot in the ATP rankings.

Darren Cahill, a highly respected name in the tennis world, has announced that he will step down from coaching at the end of the 2025 season. This decision is part of his long-term career planning and is not related to any issues within the team.

Sinner has praised Cahill’s role in his growth and has expressed gratitude for his mentorship. The Italian star has not made any public comments about who might replace Cahill once he retires.

As Sky Sports continues to monitor this story, readers can expect accurate updates as soon as official announcements are made.

Why Does This Matters to Indian Tennis Fans?

India’s tennis viewership has grown significantly over the past few years, with fans taking a keen interest not only in matches but also in behind-the-scenes updates. Stories about coaching changes, player strategies, and team decisions are now followed just as closely as Grand Slam finals.

This particular rumour caught the attention of many Indian fans who admire both Carlos Moya and Jannik Sinner. Moya’s history with Nadal, a favourite in India, gave the rumour extra weight. But as Moya himself has confirmed, there is no truth to the story.

At Sky Sports, we believe that delivering trustworthy information helps fans connect with the sport in a more meaningful way. Our coverage is designed to inform and engage, without adding unnecessary drama or speculation.

What’s Next for Jannik Sinner?

While the coaching rumour has been dismissed, the larger question still remains: Who will coach Jannik Sinner after Cahill’s retirement?

There are several experienced coaches who might be considered, but no names have been officially discussed. Sinner and his team will likely take their time to make this decision, as it will play a key role in his career going forward.

For now, Sinner continues to perform well on the tour, and his partnership with Cahill and Vagnozzi remains strong. The team is expected to continue working together through the rest of 2025, focusing on major tournaments and maintaining Sinner’s top ranking.
