The defeat against Maccabi on Thursday signed the dismissal of Zalgiris coach Kazis Maksvitis - this time he was not saved by the players, as was the case recently after losing to Partizan.
This morning, the Lithuanian great announced his departure from the previous one and immediately appointed a new coach - Andtrea Trinkjeri arrives in Kaunas.
The Italian was a candidate for the Zalgiris bench a few weeks ago, then he negotiated with Fenerbahce, before Fener decided to hire Sarunas Jasikevicius. It was also mentioned that he could succeed Ettore Messi at Olimpia Milano...
There is no more speculation, Trinkeri has signed a contract with Žalgiris for a year and a half.
Žalgiris is on a streak of six losses in the Euroleague, has a record of 5-12 and is in the lower part of the table.
The former coach of Partizan has been out of work since the summer when his contract with Bayern expired.
