Vilnius “Rytas” did not take the opportunity to extend the contract with head coach Dainius Adomaitis.
Due to the consequences of the global pandemic and economic uncertainty, the club will be forced to cut next year’s budget, so it will not have the financial means to keep the coach who has grown in value in recent years.
According to the “BasketNews.lt” website, Rytas had submitted an offer to Adomaitis with a lower salary, but the strategist rejected it.
“I want to thank everyone who was together for two years in Vilnius. I am glad that for two seasons I managed to achieve all the goals set by the club. Thank you for your support and success for Rytas in the coming season to honorably represent the name of Vilnius in Lithuania and Europe, “said coach Dainius Adomaitis.
“We have repeatedly said in public that we evaluate Adomaitis sports scores at the Morning Club only positively.” We have no criticism and we can only express our sincere appreciation for the work done and the victories achieved, – opened the team’s general manager, Rolandas Jarutis.
However, we had two options: keep the coach and exceed the budget planned for next season, or start looking for the next most suitable long-term option for the club in the capital.
The situation is clear, so it makes no sense for both sides to waste time until July 1. We don’t want the start of assembly work next season to limit Rytas’ and coach’s options, so we made a quick but necessary decision. We wish the coach the best success on his next professional stop. ”
The capital club, led by Adomaitis, returned to the LKL finals, successfully appeared in the European Cup and reached the tournament quarterfinals after a seven-year break. He won the Copa Rey Mindaugas.
Vilnius “Rytas” now focuses on the new man. He will look for the coach and start the lineup for the new season with him. We look forward to informing basketball fans in the capital about new contracts with players in the near future.
