Here's What Andy Murray is doing post split with Novak Djokovic as his coach, know the new role

Tennis icon Andy Murray has officially stepped into a new phase of his life beyond the sport that defined him for over two decades. The former World No. 1, who captured three Grand Slam titles and two Olympic gold medals during a remarkable career, has now taken up a role in the world of venture capital.

Murray, who shared the court with legends like Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, and Rafael Nadal, retired after last year’s Paris Olympics. Soon after hanging up his racquet, he ventured briefly into coaching — notably linking up with long-time rival Djokovic.

Short-Lived Coaching Stint with Djokovic

Following retirement, Murray worked alongside Djokovic during the Serbian’s 2024 Australian Open campaign. However, their collaboration was short-lived. Despite their strong relationship and mutual respect, Djokovic didn’t secure a title during Murray’s tenure, and the two amicably parted ways last week.

A Bold Leap Into the Business World

Now, the British tennis star is carving out a completely different professional identity. He’s joined Redrice Ventures as an associate partner, signaling a serious foray into investment and entrepreneurship.

Speaking to The Sunday Times, Murray acknowledged how challenging it was to transition away from tennis:

“It’s difficult to step away from a sport like tennis, which has been so all-consuming for me for so long, and then not have anything to fill that void.”

Business Was Always Part of the Plan

Murray revealed that he had been preparing for this transition long before retiring:

“I’ve seen it before with other athletes — when they haven’t had other interests straight after sport, it becomes hard for them to know who they are.

I’m also only 38 years old, so that’s a long time to be retired. My plan was always to spend more time on my other business interests once I’d finished playing tennis, and I’m enjoying starting to work on some of those projects now.”

Redrice and Beyond: A Growing Investment Portfolio

This isn't Murray’s first involvement with Redrice. Back in 2018, he backed the British sportswear brand Castore through the same firm. In addition to venture capital, Murray has also grown a healthy portfolio in property investment, signaling a thoughtful and diverse approach to life beyond sport.

Carrying Over a Champion’s Mindset

When asked what personal traits he would bring to the venture capital world, Murray replied:

“I think for me it’s the work ethic and single-minded determination to succeed.”

Though his time on the tennis court has come to an end, Murray's competitive spirit and drive remain as strong as ever — now redirected toward boardrooms and business deals.
