The 2016 season is FK Žalgiris 7th consecutive season in the top flight of Lithuanian football and 3rd consecutive as A Lyga title defenders. They also participated in the Lithuanian Cup, the SuperCup and entered the UEFA Champions League at the second qualifying round stage.
After winning the 2015–16 Lithuanian Football Cup, the club has achieved the longest active consecutive domestic cup run in Europe with five victories in a row.[1] After another consecutive win in the 2016 LFF Cup, they extended the record to six victories, while also setting a new Lithuanian record – winning two domestic cups in a single calendar year.[2]
Žalgiris were crowned champions for the fourth year in a row on 30 October after a 2–0 win against Atlantas.[3]
After the season, club leaders received multiple personal awards. Long time club servant Mantas Kuklys was included among the final seven candidates to win Lithuanian footballer of the year award and remained fourth overall. Furthermore, he was elected as the best player in Lithuania, managing to beat teammates Andrija Kaluđerović and Vytautas Lukša, who respectively remained in second and fourth places. Despite joining only in the summer, Kaluđerović was also declared Fans Player of the Year – traditional award given by club supporters group Pietų IV. According to the fans, club defender Mamadou Mbodj remained in 2nd and 3rd place was taken by Kuklys. Justas Lasickas and Daniel Romanovskij remained respectively 3rd and 5th in the most promising player of the season elections; midfielder Matija Ljujić received the prize for the best goal of the season; and head coach Valdas Dambrauskas also received the coach of the year award.[4][5][6]
The 2016 season concluded with a special event where the film "„Žalgiris-2016“. The year of triumph", about a historical season highlighted with the victory of four domestic titles was premiered.[7]
