Asociația Club Sportiv "SR" Brașov is a Romanian football club from Brașov . This was founded on July 14, 2017, after the faliment of SC FC Brașov SA , the company that FC Brașov led.

history

The first years

The club was founded in 1936 as Uzinele de Armament Brașov (UAB) and played for the first time in the 1937-1938 season in the third division. After the Second World War and the Communists came to power in 1947, the association changed its name in 1948 to Steagul Roșu Brașov (German: the red flag ). In 1950 the name was changed again to Metalul Brașov , but this was reversed in 1954.

Promotion to the top class and international games

In 1956, the promotion in Divizia A , the highest Romanian league , was achieved for the first time . There Metalul stepped up in the 1957/58 season under the new name Energia Brașov , which was changed back to Steagul Roșu Brașov in 1958 . Steagul achieved his greatest successes under coach Silviu Ploeşteanu with the Romanian runner-up in the 1959/60 season and winning the Balkan Cup for club teams in 1963. In the trade fair cup it was possible in the 1965/66 season after a bye in the 1st round and a victory against NK Zagreb the second round reached the second round, in which Steagul was eliminated against Espanyol Barcelona in the playoff.

In the 1967/68 season Steagul rose surprisingly from Divizia B. After the immediate resurgence, the club was able to build on earlier times and soon place itself in the front half. After a third place in the 1973/74 season, Steagul qualified again for the UEFA Cup . In the first round Steagul lost in the first leg 0-2 against Beşiktaş Istanbul , but could still reach the second round after the three goals needed to win 3-0 in the second leg between the 87th and 90th minute were scored. In the second round, however, Steagul lost 8-0 and 2-1 to Hamburger SV and was relegated from Divizia A in the same season.

After renaming to FCM Brașov (Workers' Football Club) in 1979, the rise again succeeded a year later. Apart from two interruptions from 1983 to 1984 and from 1997 to 1999, the club, which changed its name in 1990 to the still valid FC Brașov , played continuously in Divizia A until relegation in 2005. After a third place in the 2000 season / 01 Brașov was able to participate in the UEFA Cup again , but was eliminated after qualifying in the first round.

Descent, reassignment and renewed descent

At the end of the 2004/05 season , the team from Divizia A rose. In the following season, they just missed direct promotion, the club was third, one point behind second place, which would have meant promotion. After another season in League II it was announced that Răzvan Lucescu will return to Brașov from the 2007/08 season and take over the coaching staff to make promotion to League 1 in his first season , which finally succeeded.

After Lucescu left the team to become national coach, the club had 14 different coaches over the next five years.

Financial problems became more and more obvious in the team, in 2014 the bankruptcy was filed and Adrian Szabo , long-time coordinator of the youth groups in the club, was seen again and again as a stopgap solution for the coaching bench. Initially only for short periods, as he did not have a UEFA PRO license, but later also for longer periods. He trained the team for the most part in the 2014/15 season , but could not prevent relegation.

In July 2015, the former captain Cosmin Bodea is hired as a coach to build up a young team in the second division and to get promoted. After only two games, however, he resigned and was replaced by Adrian Szabo , who was then head coach of FC Brașov for the fifth time. On January 1st , 2016 Adrian Szabo was replaced by Mihai Stere , a month later Szabo became the manager in order to make the promotion together with the new coaching team. After failures on the first three match days of the second half of the season, the coaching staff returned to Adrian Szabo. Under his leadership, the team managed to get into the play-off for promotion to League 1. With only one win, one draw and eight defeats, the promotion was clearly missed.

In addition to the sporting failures, the financial problems also weigh on the club. Team doctor Gheorghe Popa becomes the club's president after coming into contact with an Italian investment group that is ready to buy the club, pay off the debt and keep investing. Members of the investment group were in Brașov to see the situation of the club. But the entry of investors failed and with 16 million euros in debt, the club is now worried for its existence.

Faliment and rebirth as AS SR Brașov

After the 2016/17 season it becomes clear that the debt can no longer be paid and the faliment can no longer be prevented. The supporters of the team want to keep playing yellow and black football in Brașov and therefore founded AS SR Brașov in July 2017 .

The team is enrolled in the 4th league, the league in which you are unbeaten and thus, after a relegation match against Nemere Ghelinta , make it to League III .
