Overview
- Club officials are negotiating with former coach Xavi Pascual to take charge, with multiple reports describing advanced talks following Joan Peñarroya’s dismissal.
- Assistant Óscar Orellana will lead the team at Bayern Munich on Wednesday in the EuroLeague as discussions continue.
- Barcelona aims for Pascual to assume duties later in the week, with local reporting pointing to Friday’s home game against Virtus as a potential starting point.
- Pascual has requested higher compensation and limited roster tweaks, while the club’s reduced budget and LaLiga fair‑play limits restrict immediate spending.
- The move follows a 7–8 start and heavy defeats, including a 96–78 loss at Bàsquet Girona, with the club seeking stability from a coach who won the 2010 EuroLeague and multiple domestic titles in his prior tenure.
