Maksvytis will replace the current Zalgiris head Jure Zdovc, who will finish the 2021-22 season in Kaunas.

Maksvytis began the season in Perm, where he was a head coach of Parma since 2019. However, the Lithuanian left the club and terminated his contract after Russia started the war on Ukraine.

Zalgiris began the 2021-22 season with Martin Schiller in charge. However, the Austrian was fired in October and replaced by Zdovc.
