The clubhouse have competed regularly in european competitions, where their best eat up was the quarter-finals of the 1986–87 UEFA Cup .

history [edit ]

Vitória was formed in 1922. Its name seems to be a protection to Vitória de Setúbal, which at the time was a top rival for the Campeonato de Portugal, though these days Guimarães supporters downplay the connection. After seasons of toiling in the Braga FA leagues, the Vimaranenses were first promoted to the Primeira Liga in 1941, and two seasons late battled the Sadinos from Setúbal for the first gear clock time in the League. Surprise software Guimarães, against all odds, reached their first Taça de Portugal final examination in their debut season, but lost to Belenenses 2–0. [ citation needed ] Vitória ‘s furthest progress in a european tournament was in the 1986–87 UEFA Cup, in which they were defeated 5–2 on aggregate in the quarter-finals by west german club Borussia Mönchengladbach. [ 3 ] In the early 2000s, Vitória struggled in some years to retain its condition in the top Portuguese division, then named the Superliga. Those years were marked by the decline of the leadership of Pimenta Machado, early clubhouse president of the united states, who was accused on charges of embezzlement. In February 2008 he was sentenced to four years and three months of prison on a freeze conviction, [ 4 ] though a year subsequently he was cleared of this charge and alternatively ordered to pay a €4,000 fine for falsifying a document. [ 5 ] Despite this, in 2004–05, the baseball club secured a fifth-place stopping point in the league and qualified for european rival via the UEFA Cup. The next season ( 2005–06 ), however, they were relegated to the Segunda Liga ( where they survive played in 1958 ) after finishing 17th in the Superliga, [ 6 ] despite reaching the Taça de Portugal semi-final, having beaten Benfica in the quarter-finals. The baseball club besides failed to progress from their UEFA Cup group, as eventual winners Sevilla, Premier League outfit Bolton Wanderers and Russian team Zenit Saint Petersburg progressed. Vitória bounced back immediately to the top-flight as runner-up to Leixões S.C. under the management of Manuel Cajuda. [ 7 ] A joint-best third-place ending in 2007–08, guaranteeing them a locate in the third base qualifying circle of the 2008–09 UEFA Champions League, their first such campaign. There they fell to Swiss english FC Basel 2–1 on sum, with a potential off goal winner by Roberto Calmon Félix being ruled out late on for offside. [ 8 ] Vitória dropped into the 2008–09 UEFA Cup first round as a result of their elimination, and lost 4–2 on aggregate after extra time to England ‘s Portsmouth. [ 9 ] Led by Rui Vitória in 2012–13, Vitória found themselves in fiscal problems, which caused them to lose many know players and bet on young players. however, they would go on to win their first Taça de Portugal title after previously losing five finals. Vitória beat rivals Braga en road to the final, where they recovered from 1–0 down against Benfica to win 2–1. [ 10 ] In 2017, Vitória made the cup final again, losing 2–1 to doubly winners S.L. Benfica. [ 11 ] That September, the team left their sign in UEFA competitions, being the beginning team to start a game without a European musician on the battlefield. [ 12 ] In 2020–21, the baseball club went through four managers – Tiago, João Henriques, Bino and Moreno – before finishing one-seventh, missing Europe by one place. [ 13 ]
