Valdas Dambrauskas, the Sabah's coach, has an unusual background in football. Born in Prakuojis in 1977, Dambrauskas began his coaching career in 2002 after winning a television contest. He participated in the Lithuanian version of the popular quiz show 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire' when he was 25 years old. Dambrauskas's goal was to win the contest and use the prize money to fund his studies abroad. He successfully won the show, taking home 4,000 litas (approximately £6,600), which he used to finance his trip to England, where he continued his coaching education. Dambrauskas's coaching skills and the team's determination have led to the team's historic qualification for the Champions League 2026/2027.
