As Gintra prepare for the coming season, Sergej Palijčuk, 34, joins the coaching staff as an assistant.
Sergej had planned a coaching career for years. After working with children's age groups, he joined and established himself on the staff of men's First League club Atmosfera Mažeikiai last season.
He specialises in goalkeeping methodology and will fulfil that role with the Lithuanian champions.
"I'm delighted to join Lithuania's best-known and most decorated women's team. It's new experience and an exciting, motivating challenge. I've settled in and met the head coach and players. The professionalism and consistency pleasantly surprised me, showing why Gintra have been champions for so long and represent Lithuania in Europe," he said.
Gintra's opener is on 26 February at noon against Latvian champions Riga SFK in the Baltic League at Šiauliai's Gytariai artificial-turf stadium. All supporters are welcome. Admission is free.
