There’s another job opening for all you tennis coaches out there. Yiannos Hadjigeorgiou cited personal reasons when he stepped down from his perch as Marcos Baghdatis’ coach and really didn’t have much to say beyond that. Hadjigeorgiou will continue coaching Baghdatis as the Davis Cup team captain.
Hadjigeorgiou took the Baghdatis job in May of 2007 […]
