society

He began his career in the second division at SC Freamunde . In 2006 he switched to FC Paços de Ferreira in the first division. His first game for the new club was in a UEFA Cup qualifier and the next matchday in a 1-1 draw with FC Porto .

After a good season, many clubs were interested in Antunes, such as B. Benfica Lisbon , Sporting Lisbon , Atlético Madrid , AJ Auxerre as well as Aston Villa and RSC Anderlecht . On August 29, 2007, just two days before the end of the transfer window, it was loaned to the top Italian club AS Roma , with the option to buy it at the end of the loan.

He made his first official game in the Champions League against Manchester United and was voted best man of the game in a poll on the club website. On January 20, 2008 he made his debut in the league in a 2-0 victory over Catania Calcio . However, things didn't go very well for the rest of the season. He played only five games in the entire season and only 64 minutes of playing time for AS Roma . He just couldn't prevail against the experienced players like Max Tonetto and Marco Cassetti . Nevertheless, on April 15, 2008, this purchase option was taken and Vitorino Antunes signed the contract with Roma . The transfer fee was 1.2 million euros.

Immediately after signing the contract, he was awarded to the league rivals US Lecce . After the loan ended in June 2009, he did not play a single game for Rome and so he was loaned to the Portuguese club Leixões SC in January 2010 . After the loan period expired, he returned to AS Roma in the summer of 2010.

For the 2012/13 season Antunes returned to FC Paços de Ferreira. In January 2013 he was loaned to the Spanish first division club FC Málaga . For the 2013/14 season , Antunes was finally committed.

On February 2, 2015, Antunes moved to Dynamo Kiev .
