  Alcaraz's childhood coach was Kiko Navarro. In September 2018, Alcaraz moved to Villena to begin training at the Ferrero Tennis Academy. Ferrero turned down several coaching requests from top players in order to coach a teenage Alcaraz. Their partnership has been widely praised: Ferrero won the ATP Coach of the Year Award in 2022. In 2023, Alcaraz said he considered Ferrero a "second father".
  
  In December 2024 it was announced that Samuel López, a former member of Ferrero's own coaching team, would be joining Alcaraz's team to work under Ferrero as a second coach.
  
  Alcaraz has maintained largely the same staff since he arrived on tour. His team includes physical trainer Alberto Lledó, physiotherapist Juanjo Moreno, doctor Juanjo López, agent Albert Molina, and his brother Álvaro as hitting partner. In 2025, he appointed childhood friend Fran Rubio as an additional physiotherapist.
