Roig worked alongside the world number two's uncle and ex-coach
Toni and more recently with Carlos Moya and Marc Lopez.
"It's been a pleasure and honour to work with Rafa and the rest
of the team," Roig said in a statement. "We never thought we
could get so many results and have such a long career with him
but Rafa's a phenomenon and makes everything look easy."
Nadal, who has won 22 Grand Slam titles, described Roig as an
important person in his career and thanked him for years of hard
work and friendship.
"Francis is a great coach who knows tennis well and has helped
me a lot to get better and better," Nadal said.
"I only have words of gratitude and I wish him all the luck in
the world in his new project."
Nadal captured the Australian Open and French Open titles in an
injury-plagued 2022 to top the list of men's Grand Slam title
winners.
