When Martin Schiller from Austria became Kaunas’ Žalgiris’ head coach, the team coaches’ headquarters was formed.
The well-known German Arne Woltmann will work together with Schiller in Kaunas. The 45-year-old basketball specialist has worked with Chris Fleming, one of the best German basketball strategists, on the German men’s team for many years.
Woltmann also worked with Fleming on the Artland Dragons and Bamberg Brose teams at Quakenbruck, and later, separately, at other German basketball clubs.
With Bamberg, Woltmann became the German champion four times. He has also had a taste of head coach bread at RheinStars Cologne and Eisbaren Bremerhaven, and has worked as an assistant in the NBA Summer League.
Tautvydas Sabonis, who last year’s career as a professional basketball player, is also moving from the Kaunas “Žalgiris” backup team to the core team. The 28-year-old specialist has made great progress over the years and will be responsible for the individual work of the people of Žalgiris and improving their skills going forward.
After a long break, Sigitas Kavaliauskas, a well-known fitness coach in Lithuania, will also work in Žalgiris. The 36-year-old specialist took over the people of Žalgiris from 2006 to 2012, and then worked on the Krasnodar Lokomotiv team and in China.
Evaldas Beržininkaitis, a Nerijus Navickas fitness trainer, a Vytautas Kailius doctor, and a physical therapist Paulius Jacikas, who has been in the Žalgiris system since 2011, will continue to work at the club.
