Hapoel Jerusalem today (Thursday) introduced Dainius Adumatis as its new coach at a press conference at the arena.
A few hours after the official announcement of the appointment of the Lithuanian coach, following which Panathinaikos also announced the appointment of Oded Katash, who left Jerusalem, Adomitis referred to his new role and expectations of him and his team.
Adomitis will not have a long period of grace: in less than two weeks he will be with Jerusalem for the final round of the Champions League, when it is close to a surprising relegation already in the first stage.
In light of yesterday's loss, the Reds need an away win in Limoges, in parallel with Ankara's home win over Iguoka, and only then will they advance to the last 16.

Adomitis, who will celebrate his 46th birthday next week, will be the first Lithuanian to coach in Israel.
This will be the second experience of his career abroad, having coached in Poland between 2010 and 2012.
He gained recognition mainly in his days as a player, when he won a bronze medal with the Lithuanian team at the Sydney Olympics and won with Zalgiris Kaunas the Sporta Cup in 1998 and the Euroleague Cup (by FIBA) in 1999.
In October 2016, Adumatis was appointed Lithuanian coach, replacing Jonas The veteran Kazlauskas, however, resigned after failing to make it to the quarter-finals of the European Championship and World Cup. Two years ago he won the only title so far in his coaching career, lifting the Lithuanian Cup with Ritas and his record at the European Championship reaching the Eurocup quarter-finals that season. Will unite in Jerusalem with his trainee since then, Chris Kramer.
