Rui Carlos Pinho da Vitória (Portuguese pronunciation: [ʁuj viˈtɔrjɐ]; born 16 April 1970) is a Portuguese football manager and former player who played as a midfielder. He is the current manager of Primeira Liga club Benfica.

Playing career

Vitória was born in Alverca do Ribatejo, Vila Franca de Xira.[1] During his career, in which he played for five clubs, he never competed in higher than the third division (four seasons), also spending eleven years in the fourth. He mainly represented U.D. Vilafranquense, in the Lisbon area.[1]

A midfielder, Vitória retired as a player in 2003, aged 32.[1]

Managerial career

Early years and Fátima

After starting as a manager with his main team Vilafranquense, Vitória moved in 2004 to Benfica, spending two seasons with its junior side.[1]

In 2006, he signed for Fátima, helping the club promote to the second level in his first season, followed by immediate relegation back. In 2008–09, again as champion, he again led the side to division two.[1]

Paços de Ferreira

On 2 June 2010, Vitória replaced Ulisses Morais at the helm of Paços de Ferreira.[2] In his first season in the top division, he led the team to the seventh position in the league, also achieving runner-up honours in the domestic League Cup, which was won by Benfica (2–1).[1]

Vitória de Guimarães

In late August 2011, Vitória replaced fired Manuel Machado as the manager of Vitória de Guimarães.[3] In his second year he led the club to the conquest of the Portuguese Cup against Benfica (1–2), in a first-ever for the Minho Province side.[4] On 10 August 2013, his team lost 0–3 to Porto in the Supertaça.

Benfica

On 15 June 2015, Portuguese champions Benfica announced that Vitória had signed a three-year contract with the club.[5] He started the season by managing the team in the Supertaça, which resulted in a loss to Sporting CP (0–1).[6] Despite a troubled start, on 15 May 2016, Benfica won a third Primeira Liga title in a row and 35th overall, with a win over Nacional at the Estádio da Luz (4–1) on the final matchday. With that victory, Benfica established a Portuguese league record of 88 points in 34 matches.[7] He also led the club to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, and to their seventh Taça da Liga trophy, beating Marítimo in the final (6–2) on 20 May. In this campaign, he also set a Benfica record of 11 consecutive away triumphs in all competitions, with a 0–1 league win at Boavista.[8] Afterwards, he received the Best Coach award in Primeira Liga for the 2015–16 season.[9]

Vitória started the 2016–17 season on 7 August, as he won his first Portuguese Super Cup on his third attempt (3–0 over Braga) and, therefore, succeeded in winning all four major titles in Portugal.[10] On 23 October, he surpassed Jimmy Hagan's 43-year-old record of 15 consecutive away wins in the league, achieving the 16th as Benfica beat Belenenses (0–2).[11]

On 7 April 2017, Vitória renewed his contract for a further two seasons.[12] In his second season, he managed the team to a Primeira Liga, Taça de Portugal and Supertaça victories, the second time in Benfica's history after Lajos Baróti's treble in 1980–81. By winning two of four league titles in a row, Vitória also became the first Benfica manager to guide the team to the tetra.
