Early years The first team Pascual coached was Gavà (1990–91). Other teams that he coached early in his career were:
Cornellà, Santfeliuenc, Olesa, and Aracena. In the 2005–06 season, he became assistant coach of the senior team of FC Barcelona, in the
Liga ACB. After the team and then head coach
Duško Ivanović parted ways in 2008, Pascual became the club's head coach. On 3 February 2015, he extended his contract with Barcelona, until the end of the 2016–17 season. After the
2015–16 season, in which Barcelona failed to win the
ACB Finals and was eliminated in the
EuroLeague's quarterfinal playoffs, Pascual was fired. In total, Pascual won 19 trophies in his first tenure as FC Barcelona coach, including a EuroLeague and 4 Liga ACB championships.
Panathinaikos On 22 October 2016, Pascual signed a three-year contract to be the head coach of the
Greek Basket League team
Panathinaikos. In domestic competition, Pascual led the Greens to back-to-back Greek League titles, in 2017 and 2018, and was named the league's best coach for both seasons. On 20 December 2018
Panathinaikos dismissed Pascual after he had spent two seasons with the club, bringing the Greens to the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Playoffs in both, but failing to bring them back to the Final Four. After turning around the team's negative record in the
2020-21 EuroLeague and managing to qualify for the
Euroleague Playoffs for the first time in club history, Pascual signed a contract extension for two more seasons in April 2021. The following season, Pascual led Zenit to its first major title, the
2021-22 VTB United League. Pascual extended his contract with Zenit twice in the following seasons, finding success winning two consecutive
Supercups (2022 and 2023) and a
Russian Cup (2024). His tenure at Zenit finally ended in June 2025, after five seasons and four trophies won with the Russians.
Return to FC Barcelona After the dismissal of
Joan Peñarroya during the
2025–26 season, Pascual was announced as the new
FC Barcelona coach on 13 November 2025, returning 9 years after his previous stint. On 17 October 2025, he signed his new contract in the presence of club president
Joan Laporta. The contract tied Pascual to the Catalans until 2028. In April 2026, Pascual became Barcelona's second coach to ever reach 300 victories in the
Liga ACB after
Aíto García Reneses. At the time of reaching this milestone, Pascual was the coach with the best overall win percentage to ever do so in the competition. ==Coaching record==
