We’re excited to announce that Tautvydas Sabonis has officially joined the London Lions as our new Head Coach ahead of the 2025/26 season.
At just 33 years old, Sabonis brings elite experience, sharp tactical vision, and a passion for player development — having spent the last five years rising through the ranks at Žalgiris Kaunas, one of the top clubs in European basketball. Most recently serving as Assistant Coach in the EuroLeague, he now takes the reins in London for his first head coach role.
“The London Lions really excite me. I see a team with huge ambition — not just to rebuild, but to go further than any British club has before,This is a city with incredible potential for basketball, and I’m honoured to take on this challenge.”
With investment in a new stadium, a return to BKT EuroCup, and a renewed focus on building something truly special for the capital, Sabonis will lead the next chapter of our journey — and we want you with us from the start.
