Translation from an article from the Swiss media:

Wawrinka splits from his coach

Dimitri Zavialoff and Stanislas Wawrinka will go different ways now.

Stanislas Wawrinka is looking for a new coach. Five days after his 1st round loss in Wimbledon against Dennis Istomin Switzerlands #2 and coach Dimitri Zavialoff split.

A long partnerships ends

Wawrinka worked with Zavialoff since he was 8 years old. "I'm grateful for all the hard work which he invested in me. He was responsible that I won the Junios tournament in Roland Garros and 2 ATP titles (Umag 2006 and Casablanca 2010) and managed to reach the Top 10 in the rankings. He played the central role in my career and I'm very grateful for this."

Reason for the split is not known

Reasons for the split during the season weren't named by Wawrinka, but one of it was probably that the 25years old lately stagnated. He didn't managed to return back to the Top 10 in 2009 and after the first half of this season and the 1st round loss in Wimbledon the tendency is not looking promising despite the 2nd tournament victory in April in Marocco. Already one year ago media advised Wawrinka to split from Zavialoff.

It's not known when Stanislas Wawrinka can present his new coach. His next tournaments will be the Masters-1000-Events in Toronto (from 9th August) and Cincinnati (16th August). He is going to miss the Swiss Open in Gstaad this summer for the first time.

According to Swedish media Peter Lundgren will be Stan's new coach

Translation via google:

Swedish coach Peter Lundgren, the star has a new mission:

Help Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka back to top 10.

- I'm terribly motivated, "says 45-year-old to Sportbladet.

Peter Lundgren - who among other things, has coached world ones Roger Federer, Marat Safin and Marcelo Rios - was contacted by Stanislas Wawrinka for a couple weeks ago and did not require further consideration before he accepted the job training.

- When I asked what he needed help, he replied that he would return to the top 10. It is such a thing you want to hear as a coach. He is justified and when it becomes terribly fun to work, "says Peter Lundgren.

Has collapsed

Stanislas Wawrinka was världsnia 2008, but has now fallen to 26th-place ranking. The negative trend was 25-year-old coach to change for the first time in his career. Since the age of eight, he has been trained by Dimitri Zavalioff.

The contract with Peter Lundgren case, to begin with, years out.

- He needs to hear a new voice and new ideas. I'll try to get "Stan" to become more aggressive in his game, "said Lundgren.

Tomorrow he goes to Lausanne to launch cooperation with Wawrinka, who has two ATP titles and an Olympic gold in doubles on the merit list. The team also includes fitness coach Pierre Paganini, Lundgren has worked with over the years with Roger Federer.

- This will be fun. It feels like I'm coming back to the roots, "said Peter Lundgren, who was employed by the Swiss tennis association before he was Roger Federer's personal trainer.

"Do not fight"

Lundgren worked previously with Grigor Dimitrov, who was called "the new Federer" but has not lived up to expectations.

- He fought not at the matches and I was not very motivated at the end. I wanted to see more hunger. "Stan" to return to the top 10 and there are things I should do. I will do everything for him to do that, "said Peter Lundgren.

Apparently Stan Wawrinka came home after DC, packed his bags and left his wife. He also split with his long time coach at the same time.

The entire news for those who can read french.

[mukado]

In 2010, Stanislas Wawrinka, the Swiss tennis great hope and great friend of the master Roger Federer with which he brought back the Olympic gold in Beijing in 2008, has not only experienced separation with his coach (Dimitry Zavialoff, replaced by Peter Lundgren). He also separated Vuilloud Ilham, whom he married Dec. 15, 2009 and with whom he had welcomed a daughter, Alexia, born February 12, 2010.

At 25, after a distinguished career as a junior (crowned by two titles at Roland Garros), Stanislas Wawrinka is firmly installed in the top 20 of ATP, although still chasing his first major success on the pro circuit : apart from two victories in tournaments small scale, it caught a few final prestige (Stuttgart, Doha, Rome) without ever turning the test.
Early on the courts, Wawrinka has also been in his personal life, marrying at age 24 with Vuilloud Ilham, a former model and TV presenter on TSR in Switzerland, and becoming in the wake Dad.

The young woman of 36 years has explained to the Swiss 20 Minutes about the circumstances of this separation, decided just before Christmas. Starting with an update: Contrary to information put forward by Blick, who revealed their breakup, Ilham has not moved with her daughter. "He is gone," she says, explaining that less than a year after their marriage and seven months after the birth of their daughter, her husband has suddenly become "unrecognizable" since he new coach: "He left us with Alexia on September 20 last, when he returned to the Davis Cup. He told me verbatim:" Since I have my new coach, I changed, I other needs, other desires. Tennis is my priority once more. I have five years, I will devote myself fully. "

Stanislas Wawrinka, who had indicated he would deliver a comment, confirmed that version, saying simply: "We'll just make the little suffers least from this situation."

Unfortunate that Stan has not been able to follow the example of his elder Roger Federer, world number two, but also husband and father of twins filled. Especially Ilham, in 2008, said he has changed a lot, for good, for the sake of his marriage and career of his beloved (see his confidence in the then Swiss Morning here). Stanislas Wawrinka has changed, too ...
