Juan Carlos Navarro Remains with FC Barcelona Basketball in New Role

Juan Carlos Navarro will stay with FC Barcelona's basketball section after stepping down as General Manager, with his contract still in force. The club confirmed he will assume a different, as‑yet‑unspecified position within the organization.

Navarro had not taken part in building the roster for the upcoming season; those duties have been taken over by sport director Mario Bruno Fernández and professional sports director Shavi O'Kalahan. The club is preparing to appoint Chevi Puig as the new General Manager following the departure of the previous GM, Nacho Rodríguez, as part of a broader restructuring after three consecutive seasons without a trophy.

The changes come amid a major overhaul that saw ten players leave the squad and senior coach Xavi Pascual and his assistants move to Dubai. Despite criticism of recent strategies, Barcelona continues to view Navarro as a valuable figure in its basketball program.
