→‎Honours: Apologies, t'was correct: he did not win cup.
As promised (we are allowed to revert lousy socks like User:Miguellinho aren't we?! LOL, just found out now that User:YossiSolomon, User:BubatGerev and User:999bottles are also socks of the punk!!). For example, no double nationalities in intro for the 5,0000000000000000th time! Also in intro, career summary was removed without one word of explanation!! Last but not least, please don't accuse me of removing anything because i actually added THREE REFS.

Miguel Ângelo Leonardo Vítor (Hebrew: מיגל ויטור; born 30 June 1989) is a professional footballer who plays as a centre-back and captains Israeli club Hapoel Be'er Sheva .

He spent most of his career with Benfica (mostly as backup), PAOK and Hapoel Be'er Sheva.

Club career

Benfica

Vítor was born in Torres Vedras, Lisbon District. Having been promoted from S.L. Benfica's junior squad for the 2007–08 season, he made his debut for the first team in August 2007, appearing in both the Primeira Liga, against Vitória de Guimarães, and the UEFA Champions League, facing F.C. Copenhagen in the third qualifying round; this was because habitual starters Luisão and David Luiz were sidelined with injuries.[2]

Like Romeu Ribeiro, Vítor was loaned to Liga de Honra side C.D. Aves in January 2008 until the end of the season.[3] Subsequently, he returned to Benfica, being relatively used in his first full campaign.[4]

In early July 2010, Vítor joined English Championship club Leicester City in a season-long loan, teaming up with compatriots Moreno and manager Paulo Sousa.[5] He made his debut on 21 September in a 2–1 win over Portsmouth in the third round of the League Cup at Fratton Park.[6] On 6 November he scored his first professional goal, heading from a Martyn Waghorn free kick after 18 minutes in an eventual 2–0 victory against Barnsley at Oakwell.[7]

On 19 December 2010, Vítor suffered a pulled hamstring in a 3–0 away defeat to Ipswich Town, being sidelined for three months.[8] He netted twice on his return, a 3–0 win at Scunthorpe United on 12 March 2011.[9]

Vítor subsequently returned to Benfica, being completely ostracised by manager Jorge Jesus – as practically all Portuguese players – and even being demoted to the B team.[10] After he refused to renew his contract, he left in late May 2013.[11]

PAOK

On 24 June 2013, Vítor signed with Super League Greece club PAOK FC.[12][13] He scored his first goal for his new team – also their first in the new season – on 17 August, netting through a header in a 3–0 home win against Skoda Xanthi FC.[14]

Vítor was first choice during his spell in Thessaloniki, scoring twice in 33 games in the 2014–15 campaign to help his side finish third. On 10 June 2016, it was announced he would be released as his contract would not be renewed.[15]

Hapoel Be'er Sheva

On 1 July 2016, free agent Vítor agreed to a three-year deal at Israeli Premier League champions Hapoel Be'er Sheva FC, for an undisclosed fee.[16] He won the national championship in his first two seasons, totalling three goals in the process.[17]

Vítor extended his contract in November 2017, to last until 2021.[18] He became captain,[19] and accompanied by compatriots David Simão and Josué Pesqueira, won the State Cup on 13 July 2020 with a 2–0 final victory over Hapoel Petah Tikva FC.[20]

In February 2022, Vítor's link to his club was extended by another year, to June 2023.[21]

International career

Portugal

Vítor earned 33 caps for Portugal at youth levels, starting with a 2–1 win for the Portugal under-18s against Ukraine in Montemor-o-Novo on 30 November 2006; he scored the opening goal.[22] His final appearance was his sole game for the under-23 team on 23 March 2011, a 3–2 victory over an Italian Lega Pro XI in Trapani.[23]

Israel

In October 2021, Vítor declared his wish to naturalise himelf as an Israeli citizen and to play for the national team, a decision supported by Austrian manager Willibald Ruttensteiner. Israel Football Association chairman Oren Hasson sent the player's official application to the government – the Minister of Culture and Sport Hili Tropper recommended it to the Minister of Interior Ayelet Shaked, who later granted Vítor's application to become a citizen on 1 May 2022.[24][25][26][27]

Personal life

Vítor resided in Israel since 2016, having moved to the country along with his wife and three daughters.[28][29][30]
