This Sunday the near future of Vitória de Setúbal is decided with the elections that have three candidates for the presidency. Vítor Hugo Valente, who returns after the defeat in the last suffrage, won by Paulo Gomes; Paulo Rodrigues continues to defend that the club needs “truth and work” and he, he guarantees, is the right person to rebuild Vitória in this dramatic stage in which the administrative relegation to the Portuguese Championship leaves Bonfim in a ‘state of emergency’ ; and the protagonist of List C is Nuno Soares, the man of the house, always present at various moments in the life of the emblem of Setúbal and who even appears ahead of the competitors in a kind of survey carried out by groups of fans.
When Paulo Gomes was forced to resign from his post just over three months after winning the elections and after learning of the League’s decision to relegate the club to non-professional competitions for not meeting the economic criteria, several personalities positioned themselves to advance in this race for the presidency. These three lists took revenge with projects with much in common, but also entering an atmosphere of certain tension, mainly with the criticism of Paulo Rodrigues to Vítor Hugo Valente.
More than last-minute promises, the candidates say it will be essential to find strong investors who have the medium-term capacity to return Vitória to the highest echelon of Portuguese football. In the speech of the three candidates, there is the guarantee that they will be able to make this happen in two years (Vitória would be obliged to always climb the ladder and find a way to meet the financial requirements to be among the greats again).
Vítor Hugo Valente recalls that this was his job in the decade and a half as a Sadino leader and that “knowing how to do” is what distinguishes him from his rivals. Paulo Rodrigues refutes this idea, arguing that avoiding what has been the recent past requires professionalism and contacts with some of the most successful agents in world football. And Nuno Soares appears speaking of “ethics”, “rigor” and assuring that the love that everyone recognizes for Vitória (including his opponents in this election here) is a guarantee that he will always be willing to “serve Vitória, never”. using it.
Nobody dares to go ahead with the forecasts and today at the end of the night (the polls close at 10 pm) it will be known who is the man who will have the enormous responsibility of trying to bring the giant Vitória back to the League. Vítor Hugo Valente, Paulo Rodrigues and Nuno Soares show confidence and leave, in three enriching conversations with A BOLA, the projects that led them to this electoral race, which this trio says is “perhaps the most important in the history of Vitória.”
Finally, let’s say we feel a secret hope among the candidates that the courts will still decide that Vitória shouldn’t have come down. But they will be beads from another rosary.
