This information was published by Gorica, who also announced that their leader Mindaugas Nikoličius would also be leaving the team. The contract was terminated at the request of the Lithuanian.

According to reports in the Croatian press, M. Nikoličius, who was voted the best sports director in the country last year, is actively attracting Split Hajduk to his ranks.

After the departure of V. Dambrauskas and M. Nikoličius, the only Lithuanian left in Gorica’s team is defender Paulius Golubickas.

V. Dambrauskas will replace Stanislav Genčev at the Bulgarian elite club, which has been temporarily in charge of the Razgrad club since November, when Czech Pavel Vrba resigned as coach.

Ludogorec’s team, which battled Vilnius Žalgiris and Marijampolė Sūduva in the UEFA tournament teams in 2017, has been the dominant force in Bulgarian football for the past decade – the team became the national champion nine times in a row.

Ludogorec is sure to lead the Bulgarian championship this season as well: after accumulating 39 points in 16 rounds, the closest competitors Plovdiv Lokomotiv and Sofia CSKA are ahead by 6 points.

It is true that the club was not very successful in the UEFA Europa League: in Group J, the Bulgarians lost all 6 matches (against Tottenham London, Antwerp and Linz LASK) and remained in last place with 0 points.

V. Dambrauskas, who previously coached Panevėžys Ekranas, Vilnius Žalgiris and Riga RFS, won 9 wins with Gorica this season, played 2 times and lost 3 times – the club is third in the standings.

The 43-year-old specialist has been working in Croatia since February 2020. In 30 matches, he achieved a total of 16 victories.
