Club career
Among the other teams he played for were Spartak Moscow,[1] Galatasaray in Turkey,[2] and the Bundesliga's MSV Duisburg.[3]
International career
An outstanding goalkeeper, he won 61 caps for the Lithuanian national football team,[4] and is the former record holder for his country.[5]
On 30 August 2004, Staučė announced his international retirement ahead of the start of the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign, and was replaced in the Lithuanian team by Žydrūnas Karčemarskas.
Coaching career
Upon retirement, he became part of Stanislav Cherchesov's coaching team as a goalkeeping coach, following Cherchesov with his appointments. At the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Cherchesov coached Russia, who defeated Spain in the Round of 16 in the penalty shoot-out, which Staučė helped to prepare Russia's goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev for, analyzing the penalty taking tendencies of Spain players.
His 15-year cooperation with Cherchesov was suspended when Cherchesov was hired by Russian club Akhmat Grozny in 2025, and Staučė decided not to work in Russia due to the Russo-Ukrainian war.[6]
