‘That’s how it started’: Dambrauskas’ journey from Who Wants to Be a Millionaire to Champions League

Valdas Dambrauskas, the current Sabah manager, is preparing to face Manchester United in the Champions League. His unconventional path to professional coaching began in 2002 after winning a game show, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Dambrauskas utilised his quiz show winnings to fund his coaching journey, which included periods of working in London pubs. The Lithuanian native transitioned from demonstrating extensive general knowledge on television to leading his team against one of football's most prestigious clubs.
