Head coach (reported): Sérgio Ramírez — records indicate a coach by this name worked with Vitória around the mid-1990s, but detailed, authoritative season-by-season documentation for that exact appointment is limited in readily available online sources. If you need a fully verified coaching chronology for 1995 and 1996, consult contemporary local press archives or national competition registries (links below).

Typical competitions for the club in that era

• Campeonato Baiano (Bahia state championship) — Vitória was one of the state’s traditional top sides and regularly competed for the title.
• Campeonato Brasileiro (national league) — Vitória participated in national competitions in the 1990s; exact division and final placements varied year to year.
• Copa do Brasil and regional cups — participation depended on qualification from state results.

Notable personnel around mid‑1990s

• Goalkeeper Nélson “Dida” de Jesus Silva — one of Vitória’s best-known graduates; he was part of Vitória’s squad early in his professional career in the 1990s before moving on to larger clubs and an international career.
• Other squad lists and player-by-player data for specific 1995 / 1996 rosters are available in match programmes, contemporary newspapers, and specialized databases (see links below).

Season summary (general guidance)

• Mid-1990s Vitória remained competitive at state level and intermittently featured in national competitions; however, exact league tables, match results and squad lists for the 1995 and 1996 seasons should be confirmed from archival sources for precision.
• If you are compiling a roster, match list or statistics for 1995/96, consult match reports from local newspapers (e.g., A Tarde) and national competition records; these are the most reliable primary sources.

Where to verify detailed 1995/96 data (recommended sources)

• Esporte Clube Vitória — official site (club history and contacts)
• RSSSF Brasil — comprehensive historical tables and competition archives
• Globo / GloboEsporte archives — match reports and club news (search the 1995/1996 archives)
• ZeroZero / PlaymakerStats — player career pages and historical rosters
• Local newspapers from Salvador (print archives) and the CBF (Confederação Brasileira de Futebol) historical records for official competition entries and results.

Notes: The mid‑1990s period for Vitória produced several players who later had prominent careers; some online summaries list Sérgio Ramírez as coach in that timeframe, but many contemporary season documents are sparse online. For a fully sourced season profile (match-by-match results, full squad, competition placements and confirmed coaching dates), archival research or a request to Vitória’s club archive/press office will provide the most reliable outcome.
