Vilnius Žalgiris president Andrius Tapinas has promised major news.

The public figure hinted at the upcoming surprise after the club’s disastrous 0–0 draw in Kaunas against local side Kauno Žalgiris.

"Unfortunately, the draw means that Žalgiris have now mathematically lost even the slim chance they had of becoming Top League champions.

Of course, there are still matches left, and we will continue fighting for second or third place. But there is only one acceptable position for Žalgiris in this championship, and it will not be ours this year. Therefore, the championship cannot be considered a success.

What can you do? Next year starts now. We are beginning our preparations for next year, and this week we will have some truly major news. Stay tuned, because we are not waiting around—we are starting to announce news now. We will see what happens next season,” A. Tapinas wrote on social media.
