history

CS Otopeni was founded in 2001 as a pure football club with one men's and two junior teams. He started first in the Divizia D of the Ilfov district and was third in the 2001/02 season. Despite the missed athletic promotion, Gheorghe Constantin Silviu, the mayor of Otopeni, managed to acquire the right to start the Divizia C , so that CS Otopeni took up the third highest division from 2002 under the coach Adrian Dumitru. After the 10th matchday of the 2002/03 season, the club was on the penultimate place in the table and coach Dumitru was replaced by Marian Pană , with whom the relegation and in the following season the march into Divizia B could be made. In addition, the club made national attention for the first time in the Cupa României 2003/04 when it was eliminated in the second round against eventual winners Dinamo Bucharest .

In the second highest Romanian league, CS Otopeni was able to establish itself in the top group from the start and play for promotion. After this was just missed in the first few years, Marian Pană left the club in early 2007 and was replaced on March 28, 2007 by Costel Orac . In summer 2007, Liviu Ciobotariu obligated Oracs successor, with the club in 2008 finally as runner-up of Season 1 behind the FC Brasov in the Liga 1 climb. Since the home stadium did not meet the requirements for the first Romanian league, the club played its home games in the Astra stadium in Ploiesti . Already after four days of the first division season 2008/09 , in which the club had suffered four defeats, Ciobotarius successor Miodrag Ješić had to give up his post after less than two months on August 18, 2008 and was replaced by Gabriel Mărgărit . After the sixth game day CS Otopeni was still pointless in the last place in the table, so that on September 8, 2008 with Marian Bucurescu a new coach was introduced, who took over Mărgărit as his assistant coach. After another eight game days, Bucurescu resigned on November 24, 2008 and promotion coach Ciobotariu returned as head coach on the same day. But even he couldn't prevent CS Otopeni from relegating to Liga II after a year at the end of the season, where the club has been playing since then. After coach Ciobotariu's short-term departure to the first division side Pandurii Târgu Jiu in October 2009, Florin Tene was hired as his successor, who at the same time also took on the role of goalkeeping coach for the Romanian U21 national team . Due to numerous upcoming international matches, Tene decided in June 2010 to forego the coaching position at CS Otopeni and to devote himself entirely to the national team. He was replaced by his previous assistant coach Tudorel Dumitru , who gave up his post on October 10, 2011 after disappointing results in the 2011/12 season . His successor was initially the previous assistant coach Silviu Cristescu , until on October 17, 2011 Romică Bunică , the previous coach of the third division FC Voluntari , signed a two-year contract.
