Sharapova changes her coach to hire Larry Stefanki

There is another little “life change” for Maria as she has just announced a big change in her coaching team.

Maria splits from Thomas Hogstedt that has helped her to revive her career three years ago because apparently he couldn’t follow her anymore on tour.

From Maria

The Russian beauty announced “After almost three years of working together, Thomas Hogstedt and I decided to part ways.

Due to personal issues, he was not able to travel in the near future and we both agreed it was the right time to move our separate ways. I am very thankful for all his work, and wish him much success in the future. I will be announcing my new coach in a few days. Very excited!”

Apparently Maria’s new coach will be Larry Stefanki (former coach of Andy Roddick).
