Grzegorz Mańkowski has left his position as Recruitment Director at Jagiellonia Białystok. His tenure at the Polish club lasted for over five years before this departure.

Mańkowski has moved to Lithuania to assume the role of sporting director at FK Žalgiris Vilnius. This appointment marks his next step in football administration outside of Poland.

Radosław Kucharski has taken over the duties of sporting director at Jagiellonia Białystok following the exit of Mańkowski. He steps into the vacancy created by the recent departure.

The coaching staff at FK Žalgiris Vilnius includes Andrius Skerla. Skerla is a former player for Jagiellonia Białystok, where he made 111 appearances during his career.

Skerla scored the winning goal for Jagiellonia Białystok in the 2009/10 Polish Cup final. His history with the Polish club provides a link between the two organizations involved in this staff change.

Paulius Golubickas is currently on the roster for FK Žalgiris Vilnius. He previously played for Radomiak, another club within the Polish football system.

In the Lithuanian league, Žalgiris Kaunas holds the top position with 51 points ahead of the final match of the season. The club is expected to retain the league title based on this standing.

Željko Sopić manages Žalgiris Kaunas. He was previously associated with Widzew Łódź, a club that also recently recruited Łukasz Masłowski from Jagiellonia Białystok.
