As the final signal of the 2024 "TOPsport A League” season faded, it became clear that FA "Šiauliai” will have a new leader next year – Mindaugas Čepas, who has been steering the Šiauliai ship for the past four years, will no longer lead the team. Upon the expiration of his contract, the coach decided to end this phase of his career in Šiauliai.

Mindaugas Čepas took the helm of the representative team of Šiauliai city in December 2020, and since then, the football trajectory of the Sun city has only risen.

During these four years, the team led by M. Čepas not only became a true example of cherishing Lithuanian identity, but also delighted fans with resounding and memorable victory chords. The coach, along with his students, lifted the "TOPsport First League” winners' trophy once and decorated the team with "TOPsport A League” bronze medals, thereby bringing Šiauliai city’s football back to long-lost battles in the international arena. Additionally, the Šiauliai team made it to the LFF Cup final last season, although the latter ended unsuccessfully.

During his time with the Šiauliai team, the coach managed a total of 114 matches, of which 45 ended in victories for the black and yellow team, 35 times the matches ended in a draw, and 34 losses were experienced.

The football academy is immensely grateful to the coach for these four years of collaboration, the results achieved, and the experience gained, wishing him every success in his future career endeavors.
