Left without a staff, Simona Halep can make a decision about a new coach in the near future.

George Kosac, president of the Romanian Tennis Federation, believes that Horia Tekeu would be a good fit.

“For girls, Horia Tecău is the most suitable. Especially since they were kind of colleagues of generations, he grew up with Simona in Constanta, he is a little older than them, he has experience.

Yes, I think it is the most suitable for everything. No one can take him for granted that he has come to give them advice. Because there is also such a trend.

But with Horia, even Simona could not afford what she could afford with others. Horia is respected, he is also a Grand Slam winner, plus his performance, his attitude, his character,” said George Kosak, according to Eurosport.
