David Ferrer will leave Spain’s Davis Cup captaincy on December 31, 2026. The RFET’s October 15 announcement says he is giving up the remaining 2027 year of his contract to begin a new professional stage.
In the statement published by the federation, Ferrer cites personal reasons and the wish to start that next stage. He thanks the federation, players and staff.
RFET president Miguel Díaz credits him with introducing young players to the team and highlights Spain’s runner-up finish in the 2025 Davis Cup.
Ferrer says his immediate goal is to lead Spain towards another title in Bologna. The departure takes effect at year-end, with his stated focus still on the team’s remaining campaign.
