Over de trainer van Sabah:
This is Valdas Dambrauskas in 2000, participating in Lithuanian edition of ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire’.
He was just a student that never played professional football.
The money he won allowed him to go to England and attend multiple coaching courses. He managed to gain early experience at clubs like Manchester United, Fulham and Brentford.
In 2007, he got a job at ninth-tier English side Kingsbury London Tigers and eventually led them to the best result in their history.
He got 12 different managerial jobs afterwards, mainly in Baltic countries. There was some impressive local success, but there were also heartbreaks on his path.
This year, he won domestic double with Azerbaijani side Sabah, despite Qarabag being firm favourites.
Today, he led Sabah to the league phase of the Champions League for the first time in their history. 🏆
