\u017dalgiris Kaunas head coach Andrea Trinchieri publicly apologized to journalist Tautvydas Kubilius after an intense exchange during a recent press conference. Trinchieri, who had previously criticized the journalist’s remarks about the team’s motivation following a loss to Rytas, admitted his mistake and offered a peace gesture in the form of a special gift\u2014an Italian wine bottle from his personal collection. “It was my fault, and I apologize,” Trinchieri said as he handed over the gift. “Tautvydas, I brought you a good bottle of Italian wine. It\u2019s not from a supermarket; you wouldn’t find this bottle here. It\u2019s from my personal reserve, meant for special occasions, and I think this is a special one. I\u2019m here to reconcile.”<\/p>\n

During the press conference, Trinchieri addressed the situation further:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. On the reaction after the loss<\/strong>:\n
      \n
    • “I heard a lot of noise after Sunday. I saw things going in the wrong direction, and for that, I apologize.”<\/li>\n
    • “I take my job and role at \u017dalgiris very seriously. I coach a legendary, historic club that is 80 years old. As a coach, and for all of us, we have incredible support from fans of all genders and ages. I feel it all the time. I cannot afford to create division. What I mean is, I cannot create hostility or disagreement among people. Yet, that\u2019s exactly what happened.”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • On the misunderstanding<\/strong>:\n
        \n
      • “I may disagree with the content of the questions, but it doesn\u2019t matter what I think now. It doesn\u2019t matter what I think\u2014what matters is how my words were understood, and they were misinterpreted.”<\/li>\n
      • “I would love to speak Lithuanian because it\u2019s such a rich language. Undoubtedly, I would have found different expressions. I am trying, but it\u2019s very difficult. I can say 50-60 words in Lithuanian, but I cannot express myself properly.”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
      • On his approach and commitment to improvement<\/strong>:\n
          \n
        • “I cannot look at the situation only through a small keyhole; I have to see the whole picture. I failed to deliver the message. For that, I apologize.”<\/li>\n
        • “Every day, I come to work with the mindset that no one owes me anything. I have to strengthen this principle. I will work to express myself differently, to be clearer.”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
        • On his relationship with the journalist<\/strong>:\n
            \n
          • “There is nothing personal, Tautvydas. I still strongly disagree with the questions, but I cannot be divisive. You do your job, and I do mine. We don\u2019t always have to agree with each other. There will be situations where we disagree, but things cannot escalate like this, and that was my fault.”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
          • On the journalists\u2019 response<\/strong>:\n
              \n
            • After a journalist thanked him for the sincere apology, Trinchieri smiled and said, “I managed to unite you.”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
