Murray justifies coaching revamp
Sunday, 16 December 2007
Andy Murray has defended his decision to employ a team of coaches following his split from Brad Gilbert last month, reports BBC.
Former players such as Michael Stich and Greg Rusedski feel Murray would be better off working with one main coach.
But Murray said: "I know what it's like being on the road all the time with one person and it gets quite stressful."
The British number one says he only wants "a couple of coaches, a couple of trainers and a couple of physios" to work with him during the coming season.
The 20-year-old Scot also insisted the team would not be hired to simply agree with his views.
"If people are thinking that, they don't know me. I don't want people saying, 'You're right'. I want to get better," he told the Daily Telegraph.
