Vítor Cândido Gonçalves (12 April 1896 – 1965) was a Portuguese footballer who played as a midfielder. A Portuguese international, he both played for and managed S.L. Benfica.
A forward in his early career, Gonçalves established himself as a midfielder soon after, playing alongside Cândido de Oliveira and António Ribeiro dos Reis. A Casa Pia student like many other Benfica players at the time, he gained more recognition after Cândido de Oliveira left the club in 1920 to start a new one, Casa Pia A.C.[1]
Gonçalves first represented Portugal on 18 December 1921, in Madrid, against Spain, in a 3–1 loss, and then again in Lisbon, against the same opponent, in a 2–1 loss. In the latter match, he led the captain armband.[1]
He coached Benfica from 1934 to 1936, winning the Campeonato de Portugal in his first season and the championship in the second one.[2]
His son, Vasco Gonçalves, was an army officer in the Engineering Corps who took part in the Carnation Revolution and later served as the 104th Prime Minister of Portugal.[1]
