Vítor Cândido Gonçalves (born 12 April 1896 – 1965) was a Portuguese footballer who played as a midfielder. A forward in his early career, he established as a midfielder soon after and played alongside Cândido de Oliveira and António Ribeiro dos Reis. A Casa Pia student like many other players in Benfica at that time, he gained more recognition after Cândido de Oliveira left to start Casa Pia A.C..

He 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 another 2–1 loss, this game he led the captain armband.[2][3]

He coached Benfica from 1934 to 1936, winning the Campeonato de Portugal in his first year and the championship in the next.[4]

Personal life

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 from 18 July 1974 to 19 September 1975.
