Sarunas Jasikevicius: I chased this trophy for years—me and Spanoulis wanted to play!

After five failed attempts, Sarunas Jasikevicius finally wins the EuroLeague as a coach, calling it a dream fulfilled

“It’s incredible what we achieved,” Jasikevicius said after the final. “I’ve been chasing this trophy for years. We stayed united in tough times and found our way to the top.”

He praised his rival: “Billy (Spanoulis) and I wanted to suit up and play—that’s how much energy was out there. Congrats to him and Monaco, they fought hard.”

After five previous Final Four tries as coach, “Saras” broke through. Fenerbahce are EuroLeague champions, with a leader who’s now a winner on both sides of the sideline.
