Severin Luthi has been a close friend and long-time coach of Roger Federer
Severin Luthi made an emotional post on Instagram to pay tribute to his long-term friend Roger Federer. Federer officially announced retirement last week and it certainly took Luthi quite some time to put across all his feelings. Luthi has always been a pillar of strength for Federer, especially during the last one year when the Swiss maestro was going through really tough times.
Federer and Luthi share a great camaraderie and it was evident in Federer’s farewell speech as well. Roger Federer thanked each and every member of his coaching team, especially Severin Luthi, who he said was “always there for me.” Luthi has been with Federer for a long time and has coached him for 15 years from 2007-2022.
