Vitória Futebol Clube is a Portuguese sports club from Setúbal. The club’s most used name is Vitória de Setúbal. It was founded on November 20, 1910.
The club was in its best shape in the Portuguese championship in 1964-1974. In 2005 the club won the Portuguese Cup. Vitória de Setúbal several times finished third in the national championship with the most impressive performance made in the 1973/74 season: they were mere four points behind Sporting (champion) and two points behind Benfica (second place).
The 2006/07 season became a most difficult one for the club. The team was almost relegated from Primeira, but thanks to timely efforts by head coach (who, actually, led the club to those difficulties) the situation improved. The club also experienced financial difficulties which could not be settled for a long period of time. However, a sponsor was found, money began to come in and conditions improved gradually, which allowed sooner performance growth as well.
In 2007 Carlos Carvalhal became head coach after accepting the offer from the then club owner, Carlos Costa. Carvalhal commented his appointment as follows: ‘I accepted the offer to become Vitória’s head coach as it is a club with a long history featuring numerous rises and falls. I want to restore its former grandeur counting on the team and our abilities’. Regardless of the disastrous 2006/07 season the club managed to restore faith of supporters and finished fourth in the Portuguese championship.
