Summary: Barcelona - Real Madrid 59:64 (Sport1)

It seems that Yanis Sapropoulos will not be out of work for long.

Since being fired from Maccabi Tel Aviv last week, the 54-year-old Greek coach has been mentioned as a candidate for quite a few Euroleague teams, the last of which is Zalgiris Kaunas.



According to a report on the 15Min website, Sapropoulos is one of three key candidates to replace current coach Yura Zdovch at the end of the season.

Alongside him are candidates Kazis Maxbitis of Lithuania, coach of Pharma Perm and the Lithuanian national team, and Nenad Chenak of Serbia, coach of Leitkablis.

"It's hard to think of a group less suited to Sapropolos than the one Vujicic built for him."

Former player Linas Klaiza and scouting man Banas Matkevicius analyzed the candidates, including Sapropolos, whose contract with Maccabi Tel Aviv ended earlier than expected.



"Of Zalgiris' candidates, Sapropoulos has the most experience, and a history of success in different countries," said Claiza.

"He has worked in Euroleague teams for many years, and has a close relationship with Jonas Kazlauskas after serving as his assistant for quite some time, so he knows Lithuanian culture. For me, he is the best candidate."



Matbikcius added: "Yannis is my teacher. I worked with him at CSKA Moscow for one year, and since then we have remained in close contact.

I know him very well.

He is an orderly and organized coach, capable of building an entire system from scratch.

This is exactly what Zalgiris needs.

I believe in him. "

Excited by the Greek Cup more than by the championship in Israel.

Another ex of Maccabi Tel Aviv, slingshot Tyler Dorsey who left about a year ago and earlier this week won his first title in Greece when he lifted the trophy thanks to Olympiacos' 73:81 derby over Panathinaikos, said in an interview in Greece that "this is probably the most significant title of my career! I won championships and trophies in Israel "These are significant achievements, but the feeling of winning the Greek Cup is really great and I did not play in all the finals in Israel either, so I will choose the Greek Cup as the significant title in my career."



Dorsey was named MVP of the final match, but made it clear that this was not the reason why he chose the Greek Cup as the most significant title for him so far in his career: "I wanted to win the cup and it did not matter to me. It just feels so good to win. "
