Marcaccio previously coached countryman Guido Pella from 2016-18 and has been the sub-captain for the Argentina Davis Cup team since 2018. He has also worked with Argentines Juan Monaco and Maximo Gonzalez, as well as Ecuador's Giovanni Lapentti in the past.

A former college player at Arizona State University, he reached a career-high of No. 284 in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings in 2004.
Nadal's announcement comes three days after the Spaniard shared that longtime coach Francisco Roig was leaving his team to "start a new personal project as a coach".
