Aleksandar Sekulić, the selector of the Slovenian national team, is set to assume leadership of the Catalan team for the upcoming 2026/27 season. Sekulić’s name had recently surfaced among prominent coaching candidates for Barcelona, joining Italian Paolo Galbiati and Greek Giannis Sfairopoulos in speculation regarding the club’s future direction. The 42-year-old coach brings experience following a successful tenure in Dubai, where he secured the regional ABA league championship during the previous season.
In related developments, Sekulić’s departure from Dubai has prompted the city to appoint former Barcelona coach, Xavi Pascual, to fill the void. Regarding the transition, sources close to Barcelona have clarified that Sekulić’s exit was not attributed to any internal conflict within the organization. The appointment of Sekulić marks a significant coaching change for the Catalan club, positioning him to lead the team into the next cycle.
His background, which includes recent championship success in Dubai, suggests a continued focus on competitive performance as he takes over the role overseeing the Barcelona squad.
