Djokovic announced this past week that Murray would join his team as a coach at least through the 2025 Australian Open.

In a recent interview with ‘L’Equipe’, Daniil Medvedev’s coach Gilles Cervara opened up on Murray’s new role: “Knowing Murray, I’m not surprised by what’s happening because I knew he wouldn’t be able to stay still for more than two or three months after his retirement.

Novak Djokovic announced that Andy Murray will be his coach for the offseason and Australian Open in a post to social media on Saturday.

"It’s time for one of my toughest opponents to step into my corner. Welcome on board, Coach — Andy Murray,” Djokovic said
