Former Lithuanian midfielder, Deividas Šemberas (46), was announced as the new technical director of Lithuanian Football Federation, replacing Reinhold Breu in this role.
The LFF Executive Committee met on December 12th in an extraordinary meeting to appoint a new technical director. Former national team veteran, Deividas Šemberas, was selected and will begin work in January 2025. Šemberas will be taking over from Reinhold Breu, who held the office since 2022. Breu, whose duties also included coaching the Lithuanian U19 team, was appointed having previously had experience as technical director at the Luxembourg Football Federation and as assistant manager at Austria Wien.
His successor, Deividas Šemberas, is also no stranger to responsibility at this level, having previously presided over the A lygos klubų asociacija (organization that organizes games in A Lyga) and the Vilnius Regional Football Association, and served as sporting director at FK Žalgiris for two years.
Commenting on this appointment at the announcement press conference, Šemberas said:
Thank you to the president, members of the Executive Committee for the trust and invitation to join the team. I am truly happy to join a team that has done really good work over the past few years and we see how responsibly, dedicatedly and resolutely this team works. The president managed to assemble a good team that can really achieve the goals that we are and will continue to achieve. Continuity will definitely remain, we will continue the good work done and try to improve. I will start working at full capacity after the New Year and I hope that we will be able to talk about the work of the technical department in more detail a little later, not for one or two minutes.
LFF President Edgaras Stankevičius also spoke positively about the new technical director:
I think that we will have a lot of time to analyze and make the necessary changes and we will move forward. I want to thank David for trusting the federation, trusting our vision of the future and accepting this difficult challenge and I think that as a team we will do really good work
