Novak Djokovic hires Andy Murray as new coach for Australian Open
Former world number one Murray said he was "looking forward to spending time on the same side of the net as Novak for a change".
The pair will work together in the off-season and in the build-up to the Australian Open, which takes place 12-26 January.
This will be Murray's first coaching role since retiring from playing.
Djokovic, a 24-time Grand Slam champion, has won the Australian Open a record 10 times and beat Murray in four finals in Melbourne.
The Serb posted a video on X of clips of the two, jokingly titled: "He never liked retirement anyway."
"We played each other since we were boys, 25 years of being rivals, of pushing each other beyond our limits," Djokovic said.
"We had some of the most epic battles in our sport. I thought our story may be over - turns out it has one final chapter.
"It's time for one of my toughest opponents to step into my corner."
