World No 2 Simona Halep has appointed Australian Darren Cahill as her new coach for next season.
Cahill will start coaching Halep in January 2016 and will continue as a men's tennis analyst on television.
"He will keep his role as men's tennis analyst for the grand slam events which will not prevent him from coaching me full-time," Halep said on her Facebook page.
Former Australia Davis Cup captain Cahill helped fellow Australian, Lleyton Hewitt reach world No 1 and was instrumental in reviving the career of American Andre Agassi.
Halep has won three titles this season but is still in search for her first Grand Slam. She was the runner-up at the 2014 French Open and reached the semi-final of this year's US Open.
