Hoferlin was between 2006 and 2008, coach of the Belgium Davis Cup team. During his career he was the coach of among others Dominique Monami, Olivier Rochus, Christophe Rochus, Steve Darcis and Maryna Zanevska. From 2008 until 2014, Hoferlin was employed by the British Lawn Tennis Association and worked with many players, including coaching Dan Evans, Johanna Konta, Alex Ward and Oliver Golding on an individual basis.
Hoferlin attended the 2012 Davis Cup Europe/Africa Zone Group I tie between Great Britain and Belgium, as Dan Evans' coach. Belgium eventually won 4-1.
After leaving the LTA, Hoferlin returned to Belgium to coach Maryna Zanevska and Steve Darcis and was a consultant to the Royal Belgian Tennis Federation.
Hoferlin underwent surgery in November 2015, to remove a brain tumour and was in hospital when Britain played Belgium in the Davis Cup Final in Ghent.
