After unconvincing start of the season and losses in the EuroLeague, Zalgiris decided to part ways with the Austrian specialist, who joined the club in the summer of 2020.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is obvious that the team isn\u2019t playing at the level, which everybody wants to see. We have mentioned few days ago that everyone has to take responsibility for it. Unfortunately, we couldn\u2019t waste the precious time and had to take a quick decision. It doesn\u2019t mean that everything what Coach Schiller was doing didn\u2019t work. Throughout 15 months we took a lot of positivity from our collaboration. We want to thank Coach Schiller for his work and dedication\u201d, \u2013 Zalgiris director Paulius Motiejunas said.<\/p>\n<p>Zalgiris didn\u2019t win any of 5 preseason games and struggled during the start of Lithuanian League season. The green-and-whites also lost the first two games of EuroLeague season.<\/p>\n<p>Assistant coach Arne Woltmann will take over for the next game on Sunday, as Zalgiris meets Neptunas Klaipeda at Zalgirio Arena.<\/p>\n<p>The 54-year-old coach Jure Zdovc is set to replace Martin Schiller in the head coach position, when all the formalities will be taken care of in the next few days.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-partner=\"tweetdeck\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Zalgiris has decided to cut ties with head coach Martin Schiller, with Jure Zdovc set to be his replacement.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcf0: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/n7GFXsRTe7\">https:\/\/t.co\/n7GFXsRTe7<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/B1SlCpSudK\">pic.twitter.com\/B1SlCpSudK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 BC Zalgiris Kaunas (@bczalgiris) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bczalgiris\/status\/1446440335090110495?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 8, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jure Zdovc set to be his replacement<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":146,"featured_media":240707,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[82,60],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[20,15725],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-240706","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-euroleague","category-lituania","typology-ufficiale","typology-comunicato"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/10\/FBLJVkbX0Bsf_Ka.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240706","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/146"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=240706"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240706\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/240707"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=240706"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=240706"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=240706"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=240706"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=240706"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=240706"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
