BBC Sport profiles Sabah coach Valdas Dambrauskas ahead of a Champions League visit to Old Trafford. His game-show winnings helped fund an early move to England; they did not create a coaching career by themselves.

Check the current Champions League schedule for the confirmed fixture details. Watch how Sabah organise against a stronger-profile opponent; the outcome will be decided by the match, not the romance of the manager's return.
