BRITISH No. 1 Andy Murray will begin searching for a new coach at the end of the year.
"I want to make sure I pick the right coach. I don't want to just go for anyone as it might be a mistake after three or four months," said the world No. 4, who is in Beijing for this week's China Open.
Murray sacked long-term coach Miles Maclagan in July and is currently being coached by former Spanish pro Alex Corretja on a part-time basis.
"I'm going to keep working with Alex through to the end of the year and then look to appoint someone before the start of the new year, probably in December, when I've got a bit of time to try some coaches out," Murray added.
The 23-year-old said he did not have anyone in mind.
The tired-looking Scot was also hoping he does not get hampered by jetlag when he returns to competitive tennis for the first time since falling in the third round of the US Open last month.
"I've been awake from 3:00am in the morning till 5:00pm, so I spent most of my time here in my bed."
Questions linger over his fitness and mental attitude after he disclosed he might never win a grand slam tournament following his early exit at Flushing Meadows.
But yesterday he said he was not ready to wave the white flag. "I think the French Open will be my least chance but in the other three (grand slams), I think if I play well, I'll give myself chances to win."
