“Roger Federer will be my last coaching job” – Coach Ivan Ljubicic

World number four Roger Federer has trained with his coach Ivan Ljubicic since the year 2016. It was he who improved Federer’s backhand. During his injury / surgery stop in 2016, Ivan made some tactical changes in Roger ‘s game and gave an offensive angle to his game.

Roger Federer’s revolutionary backhand marked one of the biggest returns in tennis history. In the year 2017, Federer raised the Australian Open as the 17th seed, after playing a phenomenal final match against his biggest opponent Rafael Nadal.

His title hunt continued during the American Double Sunshine, Wimbledon and Shanghai Masters. In addition, he won titles in Halle and Basel.

“As for coaching, it’s exclusively Roger Federer” – Ivan Ljubicic

Despite having elite coaching skills, Ljubicic will quit his coaching job once Federer decides to hang his racquet. At the moment, he has dedicated his life, his career and himself to the Swiss master, as he says: “Roger is my first, second and third priorities.”

But after Federer’s retirement, Ivan will focus on other initiatives around the world. “Roger will be my last coaching job. My commitment to this project after Roger is absolute. But Roger and I go further, my work with him is unquestionable and there are no problems “ he said to Novi List.

“After his career, I can dedicate myself one hundred percent to what makes me happy. So I will be able to help players in a way that we believe is the best. At the moment, as far as the coaching part of the job is concerned, it is exclusively Roger. The rest is marketing and sponsorship. “(Quotations have been translated)

In addition to Ljubicic, the former Swiss tennis player Severin Luthi is the coach of Federer’s team, and has been touring with Roger since 2007.
