This is Martin Schiller, 38, from Austria. In choosing for this coach to take command of Žalgiris, the bettors offer a probability of 1.65.
The other coach, according to the bookies, who has the best chance of training “Žalgiris” is Turkish Ertugrul Erdogan. It is given a factor of 5.
The Spanish Pedro Martínez is given a coefficient of 5.5, his compatriot Joan Plaza – 6, the Slovenian Jaka Lakovičius – 7, Dainius Adomaitis – 8, the Greek Fotis Katsikaris – 8.5.
Considered a bookmaker favorite, Schiller has served as the head coach of the Salt Lake City Stars team since 2017. The stars compete in the NBA G League and are the backup team for Utah Jazz.
This season, Schiller was named the G League’s Best Coach of the Year. His trained team won 30 times in 42 games and took first place in the Western Conference before stopping the season.
Since 2015, Schiller has also been an assistant coach for the German national team.
Before his career in the United States, Schiller worked at basketball clubs in Austria and Germany. In 2009, when he was assistant coach to the Flyers Wels in Wales, Schiller became the Austrian champion.
He worked in Germany from 2010 to 2017. For the first five years, the Austrian was an assistant coach at Artland Dragons, and for the next two years he assisted the head coach at MHP Riesen in Ludwigsburg.
Initially, Žalgiris prioritized a specialist from Lithuania. Still, Darius Maskoliūnas decided to go to Barcelona together with Šarūnas Jasikevičius, Kęstutis Kemzūra signed an agreement with the SOCAR Petkim club in Izmir, and Parma from Perm refused to sell Kazys Maksvytis.
