Official Coaching 2016-2017 Coaching Carousel Thread

[every7]

Please to add on your updates on who is making coaching changes between 2016-2017 season and comment on the validity of the coaching departures / acquisitions.

Thread will be updated as changes are confirmed......

Key: GREEN HIGHLIGHTING = Possibly good decision RED HIGHLIGHTING = Concerning development

The List:

Anhelina Kalinina (Now being coached Dinara Safina - Yes THAT Dinara Safina lol)
Nadal. (Moya joins Team Nadal!!!!!!) (Probably the best appointment of the off-season so far. Seems like a perfect fit (still can't believe Raonic let him go....))
Jo Konta (was coachless, has now appointed Wim Fissette)
Maddie Keys (Just fired Thomas Hogstedt - possibly second worst decision of off-season so far)
Eugenie Bouchard (Just hired Thomas Hogstedt - at the moment this is the best move made by any player this off season)
Milos Raonic (coached solely by Riccardo Piatti, having fired Carlos Moya - probably the worst decision of off-season so far) (Has now added Krajicek to coaching staff)
Novak Djokovic (Fired Boris Becker. Now coached solely by Jelena and Pepe "Love Bus" Imaz)
Kvitova (has hired Jiri Vanek - GREAT appointment!)
Fabio Fognini (hired Franco Davin) (Will have significant disruptions in 2017 owing to his wife being pregnant)
Karolina Pliskova (hired David Kotyza)
David Goffin (fired coaching consultant Thomas Johansson, now solely coached by Thierry Van Cleemput)
Elina Svitolina (Fired coach Iain Hughes, one of the world's best coaches, and is now coachless - watch the decline begin in 2017)

Djokovic can undo the influence of Pepe by hiring Sewretch, thereby getting indirect coaching through The Big Puppet by Geppettolino, who pulls all the strings around TTWWorld despite a lifetime ban.

There is limited seating on Pepe Imaz's Love Bus. How big is Suresh now? Will he be transgressing any of the vehicle weight retrictions by boarding?

Suresh could be a valuable source of renewable energy for the vehicle, as well as guiding Djokovic back to No. 1

Only bcoz of Geppettolino, a huge Tjovic fan who will reignite the urges to bend every rule in the pursuit of the top.

Has anyone fighting the good fight managed to eyeball Geppettolino? If yes, what does he look like?

Grigor Dimitrov (Hiring Dani Vallverdu during the late summer hardcourt season) Hired 14x GS champion 'Pistol' Pete to bring back S&V & makes the final at AO, and win the USO. Best pick up yet since Pova. #InMyDreams
