Samuel López Jareño (born 1 February 1970) is a Spanish tennis coach.
In 1990, López helped Antonio Martínez Cascales found the Equelite Academy (later renamed the Ferrero Academy) in Alicante.[1] He continued to work with Cascales as part of the coaching team of Juan Carlos Ferrero.[2][3]
López later coached players including Guillermo García Lopez, Santiago Ventura, and Mariusz Fyrstenberg.[4]
López began coaching Pablo Carreño Busta in November 2015, helping him capture seven ATP Tour singles titles and reach a career-high ranking of World No. 10.[5]
López parted ways with Carreño in December 2024, when it was announced he would be joining former World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz's coaching team to work alongside head coach Ferrero.[6] He had previously stood in to coach Alcaraz at the 2024 Australian Open, while Ferrero recovered from knee surgery.[7]
