history
The club was founded on August 28, 1923 through the merger of Real Vigo Sporting Club (also called Vigo FC ) and Real Fortuna Vigo . Vigo Sporting had made it to the Copa del Rey final in 1908 . Celta played in the Primera División for many years but has not yet won a championship or cup title.
In the 1970/71 season Celta Vigo remained undefeated in their own stadium and became known as the "giant slayers". Celta finished the season in sixth place in the table and was thus qualified for the UEFA Cup . However, they were eliminated from the competition in the first round against FC Aberdeen .
From 1997 to 2003 Celta was able to play regularly in the top of the Primera División . 2000/01 they stayed in the top six clubs in the league all season and never fell back to a lower place in the table. During these times the team was called "Eurocelta" because Celta Vigo took part in European competitions during this period.
In 2002/03 , fourth place was achieved, and thus entry into the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League . The team qualified for the group stage and were able to advance to the round of 16 of the 2003/04 UEFA Champions League before they were beaten by Arsenal . In the Spanish championship, however, the form of the club was disastrous in 2003/04 , and the season ended in penultimate place in the table. It was followed by relegation to the Segunda División .
With the second place in the Segunda 2004/05 , Celta managed to climb back to the top division. In the following season, the club qualified again for the UEFA Cup by reaching sixth place in the table, in which they played against Eintracht Frankfurt and failed in the round of 16 against Werder Bremen .
At the end of the 2006/07 season Celta Vigo was in 18th place and had to relegate again to the Segunda División. Here, in the 2007/08 season, further relegation could be avoided through sport; the forced relegation for economic reasons could only be averted by recourse to the Spanish bankruptcy law.
In the 2011/12 season , Vigo returned to the Primera División under coach Paco Herrera as runner-up in the table and was just able to prevent direct relegation in the 2012/13 season to 17th place in the table. Nevertheless, the club separated from head coach Abel Resino , who was replaced by Luis Enrique . The team finished the following season 2013/14 in ninth place, season 2014/15 under coach Eduardo Berizzo , who had already played as a defender at the Eurocelta, in eighth place, 2015/16 in sixth place, which means participation in the Europa League meant. In the Copa del Rey of the same year , Celta Vigo reached the semi-finals again after 15 years, in which they failed at Sevilla FC .
In the 2016/17 season, Celta Vigo took part in the group stage of the UEFA Europa League in a group with Ajax Amsterdam , Standard Liège and Panathinaikos Athens . Celta Vigo reached in the national season again the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey and the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League, in which they failed to Manchester United .
Celta Vigo ended the 2017/18 season with coach Juan Carlos Unzué in 13th place. The 2018/19 season started with coach Antonio Mohamed , who was replaced by Miguel Cardoso on matchday 13 .
