history

Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț was founded on October 20, 1919 as CS Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț and is named after the Masivul Ceahlău , a mountain range of the Eastern Carpathians , on the eastern edge of which is the city of Piatra Neamț . The club initially played in the regional leagues without being able to qualify for the final round of the Romanian football championship. Only in the 1937/38 season did the club play in the third Romanian division, Divizia C , but withdrew from the eastern season in the current round.

Even after the end of World War II and the reorganization of Romanian football, Ceahlăul could not qualify for the national game operation. In 1949 the club changed the club name to Progresul Piatra Neamț ( German  progress ), in 1951 to Avântul Piatra Neamț ( German  upswing ). In 1954 the local rivals Hârtia Piatra Neamț ( German  paper ) and Celuloza Piatra Neamț ( German  cellulose ), the associations of the local paper industry, joined. In 1956 Avântul played again for the first time in the newly founded Divizia C after a break of several years and changed in the summer of 1956 to Recolta Piatra Neamț ( German  harvest ). After the club split up into Avântul Piatra Neam and Rapid Piatra Neamț in 1957, both clubs merged a short time later as CS Piatra Neamț ( German  sports club ). The season 1958/59 was able to complete the club in third place of its season, but missed the first promotion to Divizia B in the subsequent promotion round .

In 1961, the club rose to Divizia B and changed its club name to CS Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț . Ceahlăul was able to hold three years in the Romanian second division before the club had to relegate again in 1964. After only one year the ascent was successful. The club was able to hold on to Divizia B for 14 years and mostly place itself in the midfield. Ceahlăul played his best season in the 1974/75 season, when the club reached the quarter-finals in the Romanian Cup in addition to a fourth place , but lost 0-1 to the eventual winners Rapid Bucharest .

In 1978, Ceahlăul merged with local rivals Relonul Săvineşti to Relon Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț and rose from Divizia B a year later. Both clubs dissolved the merger and re-founded. In 1980 Ceahlăul managed to rise again. After several years in midfield of the league's eastern season, the club intervened in the 1990/91 season for the first time in the battle for promotion, but only finished third behind Oțelul Galați and Gloria Buzău . A year later, third place in the northern relay jumped out behind Universitatea Cluj and FC Maramureş Baia Mare . In 1992, the football department as did FC Ceahlăul Piatra Neamt independently and in 1993 she succeeded well ahead of Steaua Mizil , FC Arges Pitesti and CSM Flacăra Moreni of first-time promotion to the Divizia A .

After relegation in 1993/94 , Ceahlăul finished fifth at the end of the 1994/95 season , which meant qualifying for the UI Cup . There the club was able to prevail in the group stage against FC Groningen , but was eliminated in the round of 16 against FC Metz with 0-2. In the following season he could not build club on this success and found himself in the relegation battle, but was able to hold the class. In the following years Ceahlăul was able to place himself in the secured midfield and moved back to the UI Cup at the end of the 1998/99 season due to the waiver of many teams . He reached the third round and retired there after two draws due to the away goals rule against Juventus Turin .

In the 1999/2000 season Ceahlăul managed with a fourth place the best placement in the club's history, which meant the renewed qualification for the UI Cup . There the club reached the third round after beating Spanish representatives RCD Mallorca , this time against FK Austria Wien . The club completed the following two seasons in midfield of Divizia A and reached the quarter-finals in the Romanian Cup for the second time in the 2001/02 season . There he was eliminated by a golden goal against Astra Ploiesti . A year later , under coach Viorel Hizo , Ceahlăul managed to qualify for the UI Cup for the last time in fifth place , but did not survive the first round against Tampere United from Finland.

After losing at Petrolul Ploieşti , Viorel Hizo resigned on March 14, 2004 and was replaced three days later by Marius Lăcătuş . With this, Ceahlăul had to relegate at the end of the 2003/04 season after eleven years from Divizia A, but managed to return to the House of Lords in 2006 under coach Marin Barbu , which was named Liga 1 from this year on . For this purpose, Mihai Stoica was hired as the new head coach on June 21, 2006 , but he gave up his position on August 14, 2006 after three championship games. Ion Moldovan , who was brought in two days later , did not remain head coach for much longer either. After his release on October 31, 2006, Vasile Silaghi was appointed interim coach on November 2, 2006. He was succeeded on November 8, 2006 by Florin Marin , who was dismissed on March 16, 2007 and replaced by Aurel Șunda on March 19, 2007 . This managed only two wins and three draws in the remaining eleven championship games, so that at the end of the 2006/07 season with 15th place, the sporting relegation was certain. On May 30, 2007, the club then separated from Șunda. The team was allowed to stay in the league, however, as the newly promoted Delta Tulcea had been denied the license, and Viorel Hizo was signed on June 7, 2007 as the new coach. A year later , however, the second descent was clear, which was followed by the return of the ascent. The 2009/10 season ended Ceahlăul only on the penultimate place and went back to the League II in the following season . For this, on June 15, 2010, Marin Barbu was brought in, a coach who had coached the club twice in the past and who led him to the top of the table during the winter break. On February 2, 2011 Barbu was replaced by Gheorghe Ștefan, the club's patron, against his will by Costel Enache and promoted to technical director. With this, at the end of the 2010/11 season, the team succeeded in returning to League 1 immediately. In 2015, the club was relegated to League II.
