Following a 9–1 defeat against FK Sūduva in the beginning of November 2019, head coach Viktors Dobrecovs was fired and Navikas - who at the time was assistant coach to Dobrecovs - was appointed as FK Atlantas coach on temporary basis until the end of the year.[2] Navikas lost all four games in charge and left the club at the end of the year.

In January 2020 Navikas took up an offer to coach newly established football club FK Neptūnas, where he also was registered as a player.[3]
