Murray fires coach Miles Maclagan

Quote

Darren Cahill for me too.

He coached Hewitt who is very similar to Andy in playing style and personality and Agassi who is also a quiet, sensitive lad at heart like oor Andy.

I'd be happy with just Corretja tbh.

Are ******* insane? (Rhetorical question).

Corretja succeeded in making snaggle tooth play like every surface was clay. Screw that.

No harm to Miles but this is necessary for Andy's progression, all we need now is the good experienced replacement and I am sure Andy will get lots of advice on who that might be.

So you suck for 6 months and then fire your coach just in time for the most important part of the season?  Rolling Eyes

According to The Telegraph, Maclagan was fired because he clashed with Alex Corretja.
Same with the Daily Mail.

Former British journeyman player Maclagan is said to have indicated that he was no longer happy working as part of a two-man coaching operation. He has been sharing the work of overseeing Murray's training with part-time consultant Alex Corretja.
 
Although the British No 1 tried to persuade Maclagan to stay on in the present arrangement, the coach wanted to be in sole charge, as had been the case throughout the grass-court season.

When the 23-year-old Scot made it clear he still wanted that wider range of input, the men decided to part ways. The split may explain why Murray decided to cut short his training camp in Florida, which Maclagan had attended, for a last-minute entry into the Los Angeles Open, where he plays his opening match on Wednesday.

Thanks Allan. That makes perfect sense.  Will Andy get his hand dirty at this Farmers's tournament and try out some new attacking moves Smile ?

Probably, looks like the only reason he signed up to LA was to play a tournament playing the way he wants to play rather than listening to any coaches.

I don't think he could have done too badly of a job.  Up until after Australia Murray was just on fire!

I'm very pleased that Miles MacGlagan has left Andy's team. He needs a coach of passion, one who has won Grand Slams too. His Mum, Judy shows more encouragement & support during one match, that I have ever seen Miles show in all his 3 years with Andy. He very rarely showed any emotion & quite frankly I can't see why he bothered to turn up to watch. He gave the impression that he couldn't care if Andy won or lost !
Some one like Jimmy Connors would be great ! He was like a street fighter, never gave up ! This is the sort of person that Andy needs.
Good Lucky Andy for the rest of the year.

Why why why has he done this?

What the f**k is going to happen with Team Murray now? Do the rest of the team remain? Who knows?! There's a bad stink in the air now, and it's wearing turtle neck under armour and a blue grandad sunhat.
confused

I'm not at all surprised, just that it hasn't happened sooner. Andy has always been ruthless if he knows something isn't working and after the stinking year ( by his standards) he's had...bar the Aus Open and Wimbledon, I think it was a necessity.

:p Mind, as others have said is he going to listen to a coach who tells him he HAS to improve his serve % and play attacking, aggressive tennis from the start of a match.

I think he'd come to the end of the line with Miles. Not sure Corretja is going to be that good as a stopgap. I never really rated him as a player except on clay.

Time will tell, but overall I think it's a good decision.

:p What happens to the footie tennis and forfeits? Do they still carry on?
