Edgaras Jankauskas (born 12 March 1975) is a Lithuanian former footballer and the current manager of Lithuania.
A powerful striker who excelled in the physical side of the game, he was also relatively skilled. Other than in his own he played professionally in nine countries, and represented the Lithuanian national team for almost 20 years.
Whilst with Porto, Jankauskas made history as the first Lithuanian footballer to win the Champions League, in 2004. Ten years later, he began working as a full-time manager.
Born in Vilnius, Lithuania, Soviet Union, Jankauskas moved to local FK Žalgiris' youth ranks at 16, from neighbouring FK Panerys. In 1996 he joined PFC CSKA Moscow, and later spent a further year in the Russian capital with FC Torpedo.
In 1997, Jankauskas moved to Club Brugge KV, and helped the club win the Belgian Pro League in his first season. However, in January 2000, he became the most expensive Lithuanian player of all time when Real Sociedad paid €2.4 million for his services.
After another year and a half in San Sebastián, Jankauskas was loaned to S.L. Benfica for the 2001–02 season, and the following year was signed by FC Porto, under manager José Mourinho. Although not always a regular starter, he made an important contribution to a side which conquered all in Portugal, winning the Primeira Liga and Taça de Portugal double in 2002–03 and the national championship in the following campaign.
