According to Globo Esporte Futebol, Dambrauskas won €1,100 on the "Quem Quer Ser um Milionário?" programme at the age of 25 and used the prize money to travel to England in search of football opportunities. He then studied Sports Science and Coaching and worked at a shopping centre to support himself while gaining experience at Manchester United and Brentford-linked schools.

Dambrauskas' professional career began when the head coach left the team and he was given the opportunity to take over. He has since worked at various clubs and countries, accumulating titles with Zalgiris, RFS, Ludogorets, and Hajduk Split.
