In Arad he was able to win the Romanian championship in 1947 , 1948 and 1950 and the Romanian cup in 1948 . He was banned for three months in the autumn of 1947 because he had bet on the opponent in the run-up to an international match against Poland on July 19, 1947.

Before the start of the 1952 season , Petschovski left Arad and moved to league rivals CCA Bucharest (later Steaua Bucharest). Also in Bucharest, Petschovski was able to expand his collection of titles and helped his team to win the championships in 1952 and 1953 and to another cup success .
