The 1998 French Open winner joined Raonic's coaching team in
January and helped the 25-year-old reach his first grand slam
final at Wimbledon and finish the campaign at a career-high
ranking, rising 11 places since the end of 2015.
Raonic, who also amassed a personal best 52 victories in a
season and won his eighth ATP World Tour title at Brisbane in
January, acknowledged Moya for helping to maximize his potential
and said they would remain "close friends".
"Thank you to Carlos Moya for helping me tremendously this year,
alongside my team, to get the best out of me," Raonic said on
Instagram.
"Under Carlos's direction and tutelage, I have played my best
yet to date. We will no longer be continuing our coaching
relationship but remain close friends. I wish him all the best."
Raonic, who also sought the services of seven-times major winner
John McEnroe ahead of the grasscourt season in May, continues to
be coached on a full-time basis by Italian Riccardo Piatti.
He had also worked with Croatian Ivan Ljubcic for more than two
years before joining up with Moya.
