立陶宛籍教练瓦尔达斯·丹布劳斯卡斯将于周四率领阿塞拜疆萨巴俱乐部首次征战欧冠，客场挑战英超豪门曼联1。这位教练的职业之路源于一段不寻常的经历：2002年，他参加立陶宛版《谁想成为百万富翁》节目赢得4000立陶宛里塔斯（约725英镑），随后用这笔奖金移居伦敦并开启教练生涯1。
丹布劳斯卡斯在成为职业教练前从事过多份兼职工作，包括园丁、搬运工、零售员和体育发展经理1。自2004年在曼联足球学校启动职业教练生涯以来，他在5个国家执教8支球队，历时9年，共赢得13项冠军1。现在率领的萨巴俱乐部成立于2017年，本赛季首次杀入欧冠，期间击败威尔士TNS、芬兰库普斯、丹麦奥胡斯和以色列啤酒舍瓦等队1。根据欧冠分组抽签，萨巴还将对阵多特蒙德、巴塞罗那、那不勒斯和比利亚雷亚尔，并需赴阿森纳和曼联进行客场比赛1。
Lithuanian coach Vardas Dambrauskas will lead Sabah into the UEFA Champions League for the first time on Thursday, facing Manchester United at Old Trafford.1 His unlikely path to European football's elite competition began two decades earlier when he won 4,000 Lithuanian litas—approximately £725—on the Lithuanian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire in 2002.1 He used those quiz show winnings to relocate to London and launch his coaching career.1
Since starting his professional coaching journey in 2004 at Manchester United's football academy, Dambrauskas has managed eight teams across five countries over nine years, accumulating 13 championship titles.1 Prior to entering the coaching profession, he worked multiple jobs simultaneously, including roles as a gardener, removals worker, retail employee, and sports development manager.1 Sabah, founded in 2017, qualified for the Champions League group stage by defeating Welsh side TNS, Finnish club Kuopion Palloseura, Danish outfit Aarhus, and Israeli team Beersheba in the qualification rounds.1 Beyond their opening match against Manchester United, Sabah will face Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona, Napoli, and Villarreal in the group stage, with additional away fixtures at Arsenal and Manchester United.1
