In 2013 the club was promoted to the CEV Cup tournament, but resigned.[2] After a bad half of the season 2016/17 Piotr Makowski was dismissed in February 2017.[3] Marian Kardas was a temporary head coach. On February 21, 2017, Dragan Mihailović was announced as a head coach and he led the team to the end of season 2016/17.[4] During 2019–2020 season, Visła Bydgoszcz managed to win only 3 matches and obtainined 15 points throughout the whole season.
