Since then, the coach has moved on to coach the women’s team of Georgia and she continues to do well overseas as yesterday (Friday) her players finished 2:2 once morest Lithuania in the Euro 2024 qualifiers.

Georgia started very well and led 0:2 in a multi-situation game, when Towna Bakradze allowed a double in the 19th minute. One minute later Ogne Lazdauskata Tsimka and in the second half it was Rimanta Junoceita who sealed the result of the match.
