The FC Botosani is a Romanian football club from Botosani . He made it into the round of 16 for the Romanian Cup four times and has been playing in League 1 , the highest Romanian football league , since the 2013/14 season .

history

FC Botoșani was founded in 1937 under the name Venus Botoșani . In its first year, he played in the group east of the Divizia C . Since the third highest Romanian football league was temporarily no longer played from 1938, Venus could no longer participate in the national game operation. The association also failed for the Divizia B to qualify.

After the end of the Second World War and the seizure of power by the Communist Party , the club changed its name to Asociația Sportivă Flamura Roşie Botoşani ( German  sports association Rote Fahne ) and became part of the local textile industry . In 1956, the club managed to return to Divizia C. Shortly thereafter, he changed his name to Textila Botoșani . Textila played in Divizia C for two years before it was hired again.

In 1963 the club changed its name again and from then on played as Unirea Botoșani ( German  association ). He was one of the members of Divizia C when it resumed gaming that same year. After renaming in Textila Botoșani in 1965, the club had to relegate. He returned three years later to the third Romanian league and knocked after a sixth place in the 1968/69 season with third place even at the gate to Divizia B a year later, but had to let CFR Paşcani go first. In the following years Textila repeatedly slipped into relegation battle, but was able to hold the class.

In 1973 the club name was changed again and the club was now called Clubul Sportiv Botoșani . Two years later he was promoted to Divizia B for the first time, which he had to leave after only one year in 1976. This immediate ascent was also immediately followed by descent. However, this scenario was not repeated after the third ascent in 1979. Instead of having to fight again to stay in class, the club ended the 1979/80 season in third place in Divizia B and thus achieved the best result in the club's history. This success was confirmed a year later, but a renewed rise did not succeed.

In the following years, the club first slipped into midfield, from 1984 noticeably in the lower table regions, so that he mostly had to fight to stay up until the last match day. In 1990, however, he had to go to Divizia C after eleven years. In the following two seasons, the club just failed to rise again: In the 1990/91 season he had to leave Relonul Săvineşti as runner-up , and CFR Paşcani a year later. In 1992, the club changed its name to Mecanex Botoșani and barely managed to stay in the 1992/93 season. Two years later he called himself Cozinda Botoşani and was excluded from the game operation in the 1994/95 season, so that he had to compete in the regional leagues of the Botoşani district in the following years .

As Unirea Botoșani , the club briefly returned to Divizia C in the 1998/99 season. Only after the football department was re-established as FC Botoșani , the club returned permanently to the national leagues from 2001. A second place behind Poli Unirea Iași in the 2001/02 season was followed by a seventh place in 2002/03. On April 27, 2004, Costel Orac succeeded Florin Danciu as the team's coach and with him succeeded in returning to Divizia B at the end of the season. After eighth place in the second division season 2004/05, Orac accepted an offer from Unirea Urziceni and was on June 24, 2005 by Mihai Ciobanu , the former coach of Dacia Unirea Brăila , replaced. With him, the FC Botoşani managed to reach fourth place in the 2005/06 season. This was the best result of the club funded by the patron Valeriu Iftime. who has always been in midfield at the end of the season.

In early May 2007, coach Mihai Ciobanu was sacked. His successor was Leontin Grozavu , who had to resign after the 3-7 away defeat at FC Snagov on November 22, 2008. On January 13, 2009, Cristian Popovici , the previous coach of league rivals FCM Bacau , took over the vacant coaching post. In June 2011, coach Popovici left the club after almost two and a half years in the direction of the third division club ASC Bacau and was replaced on June 25, 2011 by Marius Popescu , the former coach of FC Seso Câmpia Turzii . After the home defeat against CSMS Iași , Popescu was released on October 29, 2011 and replaced on November 1, 2011 by Costel Orac .
