Vítor Manuel da Costa Araújo (born 16 February 1966), known as Vítor Paneira, is a former Portuguese footballer who played as a right midfielder, and a current manager.
He excelled in the late 80's/early 90's with Benfica, to where he arrived from the lower leagues, going on to amass Primeira Liga totals of 335 games and 43 goals over the course of 11 seasons (289/44 in official matches with his main club) – he also played with Vitória de Guimarães in the competition.
A Portuguese international for eight years, Paneira represented the country at Euro 1996.
Born in Calendário, Vila Nova de Famalicão, Braga, Paneira started playing professionally with hometown's F.C. Famalicão, joining F.C. Vizela in the second division in the 1987–88 season and also receiving his first under-21 call-ups during the Toulon Tournament.
He was signed by S.L. Benfica in the summer of 1988, and remained there until the end of the 1994–95 campaign, being an instrumental element during his seven-year stay as he helped the Lisbon club to the Primeira Liga championship three times, adding the 1993 domestic cup. He also played in the 1990 Champions Cup final, with Benfica losing 0–1 to A.C. Milan; in the 1992–93 UEFA Cup he scored twice in a 2–1 home win against Juventus FC, coached by Giovanni Trapattoni (albeit in a 2–4 aggregate defeat).
