Just In: Andy Murray Leaves Tennis Fans Speechless as He Finally Breaks His Silence on How Much the Brit Is Paid as a Coach After His Split with Novak Djokovic
Andy Murray has hilariously hit back at suggestions he took a £75,000 weekly wage for coaching Novak Djokovic. Murray made a sensational return to tennis at the beginning of 2025 to join Djokovic’s coaching staff, just months after retiring from the sport altogether.
It didn’t last long, with Murray having left his post after just six months. The two spoke fondly of their time together, with Murray insisting he walked away from the position to spend more time with his loved ones.
However, recent stories have claimed Murray was on a blockbuster £75k-a-week wage – something the Scot has completely rubbished. Replying to an Instagram post suggesting that, Murray said: “[Three laughing emojis] I’ve read a few lies over the years but this is for sure top 5.”
There has been chatter about Murray returning to the coaching sphere, with suggestions that he should lend his expertise to Jack Draper. He told the BBC: “After I stopped working with Novak, I had a number of opportunities to coach again.
I had no interest in being on the road and away from my family. It wasn’t that I disliked coaching – I just didn’t enjoy it more than I do being at home with my family. When Jack asked me, I thought about it, spoke to my wife and told Jack that I’d love to help him.”
Before adding: “I think Jack’s a brilliant player. There is no doubt that when he gets back on the court he will perform well and win matches at the highest level. But right now the focus is on trying to get him back competing consistently again.
As far as Djokovic is concerned, it’s all eyes on Wimbledon for the Serb as he chases the increasingly elusive 25th Grand Slam title. Having been out of action since the French Open, Djokovic will ramp up his Wimbledon preparations by featuring alongside Jannik Sinner at the Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic at Hurlingham.
The tournament Director Nikhil Waugh said: “We are delighted to welcome such an exceptional field of players to The Hurlingham Club this year Novak’s return to the exhibition, alongside Jannik Sinner’s debut appearance, promises a fantastic week of world-class tennis.
“With some of the sport’s biggest names competing on our iconic grass courts ahead of Wimbledon, we look forward to delivering a truly memorable experience for players and spectators alike.
