Ilie Nastase tells Andy Murray he doesn’t need a new coach as he is good enough without one


Tennis legend Ilie Nastase has told Andy Murray he is wasting his time looking for a new coach because he doesn’t need one.

Murray parted company with Ivan Lendl last month and has been linked with some high-profile names after revealing this week that he is stepping up his search for a replacement.

But former world No.1 Nastase is not impressed and is certainly not a fan of the world’s best players turning back the clock and hiring former stars to iron out their faults.http://metrouk2.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/1000x67038.jpg?w=650&h=435&crop=1#038;h=670

Murray’s appointment of Lendl was followed late last year by 17-time major champion Roger Federer recruiting former Swedish sensation Stefan Edberg while world No.2 Novak Djokovic has hired the services of Boris Becker.


But Nastase, who was US Open champion in 1972, French Open winner the following year and beaten Wimbledon finalist in 1972 and 1976, said: ‘I don’t think these guys need a coach.http://metrouk2.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/665x100058.jpg?w=650&h=977&crop=1#038;h=1000

‘They need a good friend maybe. Or a good-looking girl, I don’t know. I don’t think they former stars can help much. What can they do? He Murray knows how to play the game.

‘I think he just needs someone to trust him and practice with him. Not necessarily a big guy or name, I don’t believe in that.’

Nastase, who is now an ambassador for the Laureus world sports awards, added: ‘Djokovic did well without Boris Becker. Maybe he’s using him to boost his image, I don’t know.’ by nevel
