“Vorrei annunciare che Simona e io non continueremo la nostra partnership nel 2019 per mie ragioni familiari”. Comincia così il lungo post su Instagram da parte di Darren Cahill che ufficializza la fine della partnership tra il coach e la numero uno del mondo delle classifiche Wta, Simona Halep. “Dopo molte riflessioni e discussioni e molti anni con più di 30 settimane di viaggio lontano dalla mia famiglia, ho deciso di prendermi una pausa di 12 mesi  per essere più a casa e per supportare i miei figli – ha proseguito Cahill su Instagram – Vorrei ringraziare Simona per gli ultimi 4 fantastici anni. La sua comprensione, personalità, etica del lavoro, generosità e professionalità hanno reso un piacere stare al suo fianco come suo allenatore. È una giovane donna di classe e la rispetto molto, che è più importante rispetto a qualsiasi risultato raggiunto”. Di seguito il post integrale.

I would like to announce that Simona and I will not be continuing our partnership in 2019 purely for family reasons on my part. . After much thought and discussion, and many years with 30 plus weeks on the road away from my family, I’ve decided to take a 12 month break from coaching to be home more for support as our children enter important stages of their lives with the final year of high school, sports and college preparations all becoming more time consuming. . I’d like to thank Simona for the last 4 amazing years. Her understanding, personality, work ethic, generosity and professionalism made it a pleasure to stand by her side as her coach. She’s a young woman of total class and someone I respect greatly which is something more important than any result achieved. . Basically, I had the dream job and I want to thank her for making it that way, and the opportunity to work with someone so talented and dedicated. . I wish Simo and her team nothing but continued success and I look forward to supporting her from the sidelines next year. . A special mention to Theo Cercel, Andrei Cristofor and Virginia Ruzici for all of the support, belief, friendship and great work through the years. . And finally, to the Romanian fans that show unwavering passion and support for their girl. You guys rock, seriously. Thanks for adopting this Aussie as one of your own for the last 4 years and making me feel welcome in your country. Mulțumesc ❤️ . I will continue to work with the ESPN team at the AO, Wimbledon & US Open tournaments in 2019. . Cheers, Darren
