Return for Latoza

Latoza led Žalgiris to their last Lithuanian championship in 1999 during his first spell as coach. Žalgiris currently lie fifth in the table.
Tavoras takes over
Meanwhile, relegation-threatened Sakalas have parted company with Romualdas Lavrinavicius, appointed in the close season. His place will go to his assistant Rytis Tavoras.
