Mestský Športový Klub Žilina, or MŠK Žilina (Slovak pronunciation: [ˈem ˈeʃ ˈka: ˈʒilina]) is a Slovak football club based in the town of Žilina, that currently plays is the Slovak Superliga. Since the league inception in 1993, the club has won 6 titles and comes second in All-time table that makes them one of the most successful teams in the competition. The club and their supporters alike are nicknamed Šošoni (after the Shoshone Native American tribe) and play their home games in the Štadión pod Dubňom.

History

Early years

The club was founded towards the end of 1908 under the Hungarian name Zsolnai Testgyakorlók Köre. Group of football and tennis pioneers residing in the town along with local merchants, workers from drapery factories and students played important roles in the foundation of the club. After lengthy preparations, the club was officially registered on 20 June 1909. The club won its first Slovak championship (Zväzové majstrovstvá Slovenska) in 1928 followed by the success in 1929 and was among the most notable teams in Slovakia for almost two decades.

Czechoslovak League

In total, Žilina played 30 out of 47 seasons^[1] in the Czechoslovak First League spanning from 1945 to 1993 and come 13th in all-time table.^[2] The most successful season remains 1946–47 when they clinched 4th place adrift of the likes of Sparta Prague, Slavia Prague (historically, the two most successful clubs in Czechoslovakia) and SK Kladno. As a mark of honour to the best Slovak team in this competition, Žilina was named "Unofficial Slovak Champion".

Many consider 1961 a milestone in club's history. Firstly, the team reached the final of the National Cup, where they lost to Dukla Prague, the eventual Czechoslovak champion. Despite the defeat, for the first time in its history the club, then known as Dynamo Žilina, broke into Europe to contest in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. Notable 3–2 and 1–0 victories over Olympiacos moved them in quarter-finals, however the ambitious Slovak team was ultimately knocked out by the previous year's winner Fiorentina. Although Žilina grabbed a promising 3–2 victory at home, Fiorentina went through by winning the second leg 2–0.

In the late 1960s the club was renamed TJ ZVL Žilina and participated in the Intertoto Cup for several more years, winning the group in 1969 and coming 2nd a year later. A notable 1973–74 season, saw them reach the final of the Mitropa Cup but they suffered defeat from Tatabányai Bányász 5–2 on aggregate. Between 1972 and 1974, they finished 5th in the First Division of the Czechoslovak League for three years running, followed by relegation to the Second Division in the 1978–79 season. The club bounced back four years later and finished second in the Mitropa Cup in that same season, which turned out to be the last notable achievement before winning the title two decades later.

New era – Slovak League

Following dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1993, MŠK Žilina has been playing in the Slovak Superliga for the total of 23 seasons with the exception of 1995–96 season after relegation to the Second Division.

After lengthy two decades since the last European contest the club qualified for the Intertoto Cup in 1997 and 1999, however with no success on either occasion.

Significantly, in the autumn of 2000, former Czechoslovakian defender Ladislav Jurkemik joined the club as a new manager and under his guidance the team became renowned for its winning mentality. After his departure halfway through the 2001–02 season to become a manager of the Slovak national team the club appointed Czech coach Leoš Kalvoda. During his short reign at the club he led them to win the first title with four rounds into the end of the season. In the 2002–03 season, now under the management of Milan Lešický, the club succeeded in retaining the title. With two games to play, prolific striker and team captain Marek Mintal scored a cracking winner in an eagerly anticipated away clash against their only contender in a title race Slovan Bratislava. This turned out to be his last goal for the recrowned Slovak champion before his move to 1. FC Nürnberg.

Ladislav Jurkemik was reappointed as a manager during the 2003–04 season. He led the defending champions to 10 priceless consecutive victories to clinch the third successive title though narrowly on a goal difference. After Slovan Bratislava, MŠK Žilina became only the second club to win three Slovakian titles. The team's performances in next two seasons faded while they lacked the quality they had been famous for during their winning campaigns. In pursuit of silverware numerous players were signed over next two years. In the span of only fourteen months, three managers; the reputable Karol Pecze, his successor Milan Nemec and eventually Marijan Vlak were in charge over the team. Since the results and performances never met the expectations, Vlak ended his reign immediately at the end of 2005–06 season after they failed to reach UEFA Cup spot only to finish fourth.

Unforgettable 2006–07 season was another proof of dominance when MŠK Žilina won the fourth title in six years. Well deserved credit to a new appointed manager Pavel Vrba whose renowned tactics complemented with several new signings brought a desired recipe for success. The team dominated throughout the entire season performing an enjoyable attacking football that was applauded all across the country.

An arch rivalry between Slovak and Czech teams since the split up escalated when MŠK Žilina were tied with Slavia Prague in the second qualifying round of Champions League 2007–08. Disappointingly, they were knocked out by Czech champions on penalties after two goalless draws.

MŠK Žilina take on ŠK Slovan Bratislava in May 2009

Ironically, despite two victorious qualifying rounds of UEFA Cup 2008–09, the board made a controversial decision to part a company with Pavel Vrba. It is believed such action was taken owing to team's inconsistent performances and transparent tactics in domestic league, leaving most supporters in dismay. However, seemingly gambling step to appoint Dusan Radolsky prior to the crucial second leg in Sofia came to fruition immediately. In a triumphant night, the Slovak side made it through when they managed to beat Levski Sofia 1–0 away and historically earned a spot in UEFA Cup 2008–09 group stage. The club was drawn to play in Group F alongside Hamburg, Ajax, Slavia Prague and Aston Villa. They were the lowest ranked side of all 40 clubs in this stage of competition. Although they famously beat Aston Villa 2–1 at Villa Park in their last group game, the club finished fourth and did not advance to the knockout stages of the competition.

Former Czechoslovakia and later Czech international Pavel Hapal was appointed new manager before 2009–10 campaign. In his first season he led the team to win a league title, their fifth in nine years. Arguably the greatest success in their history came by making a debut in 2010–11 UEFA Champions League group stage after eliminating Sparta Prague in play-off round. In the following season they completed their first ever double, while the 2012–13 season saw the team finishing 7th - their worst league position since 2000. However, as a defeated finalists of the Slovak Cup the club secured a place to contest in the 1st qualifying round of 2013–14 UEFA Europa League.

One of the club's most notable players of the modern time is Marek Mintál, the captain and the league top scorer in club's two consecutive winning seasons 2001–02 and 2002–03 netting 21 and 20 goals respectively.
