Juan Carlos Navarro reaffirms support for Xavi Pascual as Barcelona coach

FC Barcelona General Manager Juan Carlos Navarro has publicly supported head coach Xavi Pascual, stating that he is an essential part of the team's future. Speaking to Movistar+ in Monaco, Navarro dismissed rumors of the coach's potential departure, emphasizing that he cannot envision a future project without him. Navarro acknowledged the team's ongoing struggles and recent lack of victories. He attributed these results partly to financial constraints, noting that the club has been unable to acquire new players or secure additional sponsors this season. This follows a period of three years marked by budget cuts for the organization. However, Navarro promised that investment will increase significantly next season. He stated that the club plans to secure more funding to build a competitive team for the upcoming year.
