EuroLeague: Barcelona Considers Ibon Navarro as Coaching Option if Xavi Pascual Departs
may 13 2026FC Barcelona continues planning for next season, and Ibon Navarro has emerged as a candidate on the club's radar. According to local reports, the current Unicaja head coach is among the options Barcelona is considering should Xavi Pascual not continue leading the project this summer.
This possibility is not new, as the name of the Vitoria-based coach has been linked to the Barcelona club on several occasions in recent months. In fact, the Rumores de Basket account already pointed out last February that Barcelona had Ibon Navarro as one of the options to lead the team next season.
Navarro has established himself in recent seasons as one of the most respected coaches in Spanish basketball following his work at Unicaja, where he has managed to build a competitive team both in the ACB and in European competitions. His profile, ability to develop players, and dynamic style would fit with the sporting vision Barcelona could be seeking to begin a new era.
