According to British newspaper The Times, the world number one could entrust his coaching staff to Swede Magnus Norman from the 2027 season onwards.
The men's tennis landscape could be about to see a notable change in Jannik Sinner's team. According to information relayed by the British daily The Times, the Italian, the current world number one, is reportedly considering a change to his coaching set-up for the 2027 season.
The name put forward is that of Magnus Norman, a former Swedish player turned coach. Currently responsible for guiding Stan Wawrinka, Norman is set to end his collaboration with the Swiss at the close of the current season, which would free up his position and pave the way for a new partnership.
This type of recruitment illustrates the importance that top-level players place on the composition of their team. Beyond the head coach, a champion's entourage often includes a fitness trainer, a physiotherapist and sometimes a mental performance specialist, each playing a role in managing a particularly demanding calendar.
Caution is nonetheless warranted. The reported information rests on the sources of the British newspaper and, at the time of writing, has not been officially confirmed by the player, his entourage or Magnus Norman. Coaching arrangements can still evolve before the date in question.
The prospect of a new coach from 2027 therefore remains one to watch closely. The coming seasons will show whether the project comes to fruition and how it might influence the trajectory of a player already established at the summit of the world rankings.
