The club currently plays in Primeira Liga.[4] Since the club's establishment it has won nine trophies in its senior football department, the most recent being the 2011–12 Liga de Honra.[5] As a result of this, several personnel of the club were awarded awards in relation to their performances in the 2011–12 season, of which they include Licá who won the LPFP Liga de Honra Player of the Year, Vagner who won the LPFP Liga de Honra Goalkeeper of the Year and Marco Silva who won the LPFP Liga de Honra Coach of the Year.[6][7] The club is currently sponsored by Spanish sports manufacturer Joma.

History

Early beginnings

The club was founded on 17 May 1939 as Grupo Desportivo Estoril Praia by, among others, Joaquim Cardim, José Ereia, João Rebelo, Armando Vilar, Ernesto Tomás, and Joaquim Nunes.[2] The club's principal promoter was Fausto Cardoso de Figueiredo, the wealthy owner of the Lisbon-Cascais railway, the English hotels of the city, Paris and the Palace, the bath building, and the Estoril Casino.[2] The team's badge and kit colours were inspired by Estoril's many beaches, considered the best in all of Portugal. The yellow symbolizes the colour of the sun, while the blue symbolizes the colour of the neighbouring Atlantic Ocean.[2]

When the club was initially established it began to play in the Campeonato de Lisboa which was a league competition contested by teams from Lisbon. It also began to compete in the Taça de Portugal. Four years after its establishment, the club has reached the Taça de Portugal final in the 1943–1944 season in which they lost to S.L. Benfica 8–0 at the Campo das Salésias in Lisbon.[8]

Following that season the club reached for the Primeira Liga in the 1944–45 season where they finished seventh in their very first season in Portugal's top flight division.[9] The next season saw the club play in the 1945–46 Segunda Divisão and the 1945–46 Campeonato de Lisboa.[10] The club remained in the top flight until the 1952–53 Primeira Divisão season where they finished last and were relegated to the Portuguese Second Division.[11]

Decline and revival

The next season saw them begin their football life in the Segunda Divisão. Estoril played in the division for 22 years before gaining promotion to the top flight again. Following the appointment of experienced English manager Jimmy Hagan in 1973 who prior to being appointed as manager of Estoril had managed Benfica to three consecutive league titles in 1970–71, 1971–72 and 1972–73 as well as a Taça de Portugal in the 1971–72 season he helped the club achieve promotion to Primeira Liga. The club's return saw them finish an impressive eighth place in the league as well as a quarter-finalist in the cup competition. The next ten years saw the club remain in a stable position finishing in mid-table positions up until the mid-1980s.

In the late 1980s, the club appointed Fernando Santos as manager. A young coach who had played for the club during his professional career in the 1970s who had retired due to several injuries. He helped the club rebuild itself and improve its players and after three years in charge he helped them gain promotion once again to the top flight at the age of 36. During his time he helped the club establish themselves as a Primeira Liga club up until the 1993–94 season where he left the club for Estrela da Amadora and Estoril in that very season were relegated to the second tier.

Since the departure of Fernando Santos as manager in 1994 the club has been lurking around the Liga de Honra. Since the Liga de Honra's establishment the club has participated in fourteen seasons in that division. In the 1998–99 Liga de Honra season, the club suffered relegation to the third tier of Portuguese football for the first time in their history.[12] Since then the club has suffered several promotions and relegation.

Recent years

At the beginning of the millennium, the club was playing in the Portuguese Second Division. Ulisses Morais took over in 2002 and led the club to back to back promotions leading the club to the top flight. Litos took over for the 2004–05 Primeira Liga season where the club finished seventeenth and were relegated after one season.[13]

In the 2011–12 season the club won promotion and returned back to the top flight by winning the Liga de Honra five points ahead of second place Moreirense. Under management of Marco Silva who half way through the season took over from Vinícius Eutrópio, he helped claim the club's second Liga de Honra title thanks to help from João Coimbra, Licá, Steven Vitória, Tiago Gomes and Vagner who where important in their promotion run.[14][15]
