Novak Djokovic has announced that Andre Agassi will coach him at the French Open, which starts next Sunday.
The world number two revealed the news in Rome shortly after losing the final of the Italian Open to Germany's Alexander Zverev.
Djokovic has been without a coach since dismissing his entire backroom staff earlier this month. The French Open starts next Sunday in Paris.
He said of eight-time grand slam winner Agassi, according to Gazzetta Dello Sport: "We will be together in Paris. We talked on the phone two weeks ago. Then we'll see what happens in the future."
Djokovic added: "We are both excited about working together, but we have no long-term agreements and he is not going to be with me for the whole tournament.
"He was a revolutionary tennis player and a legend of tennis. I have a deep respect for him as a person and a tennis player.
"It's true that he has been off the circuit for the last 10 to 15 years, but I understand he knows all the players and has seen all the great matches on TV."
Agassi's first task will be to restore Djokovic's confidence after it took another hit with a 6-4 6-3 defeat to 20-year-old rising star Zverev.
