In a press release, Kouadio expressed his enthusiasm for joining the club: “_The professionalism of the club and the positive attitude of the administration and coaches motivated me to come to Panevėžys_.”

He added, _“I will spend more time with my family, work hard, and prepare for the pre-season. I aim to showcase my abilities for the club, help it progress, and achieve its objectives in the coming year.”_

Kouadio becomes the second offseason signing for Panevėžys as two days ago; they announced that their former player **Elivelto** returns for his second spell in the Aukštaitija region side.
