Edgaras Jankauskas (born March 12, 1975 in Vilnius ) is a Lithuanian national soccer coach and former soccer player . As a tall striker , he was best known for his very physically oriented style of play, but also had great technical skills and had an above-average feel for the ball for a player of his size. In 2016 he became the coach of the Lithuanian national team .

The Lithuanian international began his career at FK Panerys Vilnius and then joined Žalgiris Vilnius at the age of 16 . In 1996 he moved to the Russian capital to CSKA Moscow and after only one season there spent another year with local rivals Torpedo Moscow .

Jankauskas left Russia in 1998 and was hired by the Belgian club FC Bruges , with whom he was able to win the championship in the current season. In January 2000 he became the most expensive Lithuanian player up to that point when he moved to Real Sociedad San Sebastián in Spain for a transfer fee of 2.3 million euros .

From there he was loaned to the Portuguese club Benfica Lisbon during the 2001/02 season and after eight goals in twelve games there committed for the following season by coach José Mourinho for FC Porto . Under Mourinho's reign, Jankauskas won the Portuguese Cup once, two championships, and successively in 2003 and 2004 the UEFA Cup and the Champions League .

After Mourinho left for Chelsea , Jankauskas was eliminated from the squad and joined the French club OGC Nice on loan . But he was also unable to establish himself in France and moved to Scotland to the Heart of Midlothian club, although he was officially sold to FBK Kaunas in Lithuania and loaned from there to Edinburgh . In his first season for the "Hearts" his goals ensured that he could win the Scottish Cup and that his club reached the qualifying games for the Champions League with the runner-up.

In 2010 he retired from the New England Revolution in Major League Soccer . He played his last game on June 6, 2010 against Seattle Sounders FC .

After two positions as assistant coach at Lokomotiv Moscow and Heart of Midlothian , he took over the team from FK Trakai as head coach in 2014 . There he was released in October after four defeats in a row. In early 2016, Jankauskas became the coach of the Lithuanian national team .
