Corvinul Hunedoara was a Romanian football club from Hunedoara . The greatest success in the club's history was participation in the 1982/83 UEFA Cup .

history

Corvinul Hunedoara was founded in 1921. The club was named after Hunedoara Castle , which in Romanian is Castelul Corvinilor ( Corviner Castle ). Initially, he did not appear nationwide: he did not succeed in qualifying for the final round of the Romanian football championship via the regional championships in the 1920s , nor in the 1930s in advancing to the newly founded divisia A , Divizia B and Divizia C to create. For the first time, the club played under its new name Uzinele de Fier Hunedoara in the 1943/44 season in the Cupa Eroilor ( Cup of Heroes ), a national tournament that was held during the Second World War instead of the Divizia B.

After the end of the war, the club was classified in Divizia C and was able to qualify for participation in Divizia B in the 1946/47 season. Due to a reform of the game operation (the Divizia B was reduced from four to two seasons) UF Hunedoara had to relegate in 1948. In the same year the name was changed to IMS Hunedoara . After another year in Divizia C, in which the recovery was just missed, the club played in the following years only in regional leagues, since Divizia C was only played sporadically at that time.

In 1950 the club changed its name again and played from then on as Metalul Hunedoara , as he had affiliated with the metalworking industry of the city. In 1952 he managed to return to Divizia B, where after only one year the march through to the House of Lords was made perfect. At the end of the 1954 season , Metalul had to relegate again due to the poor goal difference against Locomotiva Târgu Mureş .

In the following years the club played in Divizia B. In 1956 it changed its name to Energia Hunedoara , before the original name Corvinul Hunedoara was adopted again in 1957 . After several unsuccessful attempts to return to Divizia A, Corvinul was successful in 1960. As eight years earlier, the club rose again at the end of the 1960/61 season - this time bottom of the table - immediately. The next relegation followed just a year later and Corvinul found himself in the third division.

In 1963, the association changed its name again to Siderurgistul Hunedoara ( German : ironworker ). In 1964 he reached the quarter-finals in the Romanian Cup , where he finally failed at Crişul Oradea after victories against Dinamo Piteşti and CSMS Iaşi . A year later the club changed its name back to Metalul Hunedoara and were able to return to Divizia B in 1967 after several unsuccessful attempts.

After being renamed Corvinul Hunedoara again (1970), the club played inconsistently in Divizia B for promotion and relegation. In the 1975/76 season , the club was converted into a football club and managed to return to Divizia A. A year later, Mircea Lucescu, a player whose career was drawing to a close, joined the club. In the first half of the 1978/79 season he supported Ilie Savu as an assistant coach before he acted as a player -coach from the winter break . Lucescu could not prevent the descent in 1979, but succeeded in 1980 the direct rise. He was instrumental in making the beginning of the 1980s Corvinul's most successful period. In 1981 Lucescu became national coach in personal union before he devoted himself entirely to the national team from 1982 .

Already in the 1980/81 season the leap to 6th place was achieved, which was topped in the following season 1981/82 with 3rd place and qualification for the UEFA Cup . In the UEFA Cup, Corvinul reached the second round after beating the Grazer AK , but was eliminated against FK Sarajevo . In the following years the team was unable to repeat that success and went after a few years in the midfield at the end of the season 1991/92 in the Divizia B from. The club missed promotion to the Divizia Națională in 1995 under coach Ioan Petcu as the runner-up of his season after the relegation game against Sportul Studențesc , the third-bottom of the Divizia Națională in 1994/95 , was lost 1-0.

The last players from their own youth who also appeared in the national team before moving to capital city clubs and later abroad were Ovidiu Cornel Hanganu and Bogdan Lobonț . The club came under increasing financial pressure from 2001 onwards due to the running costs, especially since it was not until November 2009 that a civil court was entitled to the agreed 30% share of the total transfer proceeds of three million US dollars , which Rapid Bucharest from Ajax Amsterdam for Bogdan Lobonț had received, should finally confirm. The few talents who still made the breakthrough therefore had to be sold well below their actual market value. In addition, the long-standing club sponsor, the local ironworks , was taken over by the Mittal Steel Company in 2004 , which also resulted in a cut in financial resources.

Financial difficulties

In November 2004 Corvinul was excluded from the 2004/05 championship because he could not pay outstanding player and coach salaries of 48,000 euros and also owed 250,000 euros to the Romanian state. Since no investor could be found to pay these sums, the association was dissolved. Instead, the local authorities, under the leadership of Mayor Nicolae Schiau and with the financial support of the scrap iron dealer Florin Uscatu, founded a new club called FC Corvinul 2005 Hunedoara in the summer of 2005 . This took over the second division start right from CS Deva and received from the city the rights of use for the Stadionul Michael Klein , so that Corvinul could go into the following season 2005/06 under the new coach Ioan Petcu .

In spring 2008 there were disagreements between the investor Uscatu and the newly elected mayor Ovidiu Marius Hada, which led to the departure of some experienced players. At the end of the 2007/08 season, under coach Florea Văetuș, relegation to League III followed . In August 2008, the Romanian Football Association granted Mircea Alic, the former President of Corvinul Hunedoara, the naming rights to Corvinul. The management of the current club objected to this decision, which was accompanied by a claim for damages in the amount of 400,000 euros, so that the club was initially not renamed. On August 24, 2008, the former coach from the 2005/06 season, Ioan Petcu , was appointed the new coach of the mainly juniors team, Văetuș became his assistant coach. In September 2008, however, the club had to stop playing before the 7th match day of Liga III, as debts of 3,000 euros to the former players Attila Vajda and Doru Șerban could not be paid. On October 28, 2008 Corvinul withdrew from the championship at the behest of Florin Uscatu, the results of all games played so far were annulled.

Successor club FC Hunedoara

On July 28, 2009, the Fotbal Club Hunedoara was founded as the successor club . This played in the 2009/10 season in League IV and failed as the season winner of the Hunedoara district initially in the relegation to Unirea Floreşti , the representative of the Cluj district . On July 27, 2010, however, FC Hunedoara took over the starting position of the team FC Someșul Ileanda from Sălaj County, which was victorious in the relegation, and has therefore been playing in League III since the 2010/11 season . The team's coach was initially Nelu Mitrică, later Eusebiu Șuvagău and then from November 2, 2010 to July 2011 Ioan Petcu . For the 2011/12 season Erik Lincar took over the position of head coach, but he was dismissed on September 23, 2011 and replaced on September 26, 2011 by Aurel Șunda .
