There are many rumors surrounding Jasikevicius' future, with the Lithuanian's deal expiring after the 2022-23 season. However, Cubells hopes that Jasikevicius will remain for the foreseeable future.

"The hope is that Saras will continue," Cubells told Jijantes. "We believe he is a coach who could make an era at the club."

Barcelona finished the EuroLeague season in second place with a 23-11 record. In the 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons, Barcelona finished in 1st place in the regular season, reaching two Final Fours in a row.

However, the Spanish club hasn't won the EuroLeague trophy during Jasikevicius' reign.

The 47-year-old joined Barcelona from Zalgiris, replacing Svetislav Pesic.

So far, Jasikevicius has guided Barcelona to one ACB title and two Spanish Cup titles.
