“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.
Squad7 Dec 2026
“The easiest signature of my career.” Andrius Eliosius and Trakai agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
Squad7 Dec 2026
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Trakai this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at Trakai training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Vykintas Paulauskas is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The medical room confirms 30 days on the sidelines for Andrius Eliosius, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Tempers go at Trakai
Tadas Girdvainis was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
The dugout19 Oct 2026
Nobody at Trakai will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Crisis
Match12 Aug 2026
Trakai out of the cup
Siauliai ended it 2‑3. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.
Match12 Aug 2026
Trakai throw away a 2-goal lead
2 in front and in complete control, and it finished with Siauliai the happier side. There is no version of this afternoon that Trakai will enjoy reviewing.
Market17 Aug 2026
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.
Player ratings17 Aug 2026
A brace, and Edvinas Jankauskas takes the afternoon — 8.27
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Edvinas Jankauskas provided it, and the 8.27 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.
Squad17 Aug 2026
6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Tempers go at Trakai
Lukas Satkus was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Trakai asked and Flora said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
The dugout17 Aug 2026
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Andrius Eliosius, and the manager let it.
The dugout17 Aug 2026
The manager’s verdict
“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 2‑3 Marius Sernas left the room before anybody could ask which.

A falling-out at Trakai
Lukas Satkus and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Transfer targets10 Aug 2026
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Andrius Valskis falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
The dugout10 Aug 2026
Lukas Satkus knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Trakai, and both men came out saying it was fine.
