Oțelul Galați is a Romanian football club from Galați . The name of the association is derived from the Romanian word oțel ("steel"). He played in the first Romanian football league from 1991 to 2015 and became Romanian champion in 2011.
history
Oțelul Galați was founded in 1964. For the first time the association in 1986 rose in the first Romanian league, the Divizia A on. In 1988 he qualified fourth for the UEFA Cup for the first time and won a 1-0 win against Juventus Turin . At this game, the current record in the club's history was reached with 35,000 spectators.
After two fourth places in the years 1996/97 and 1997/98 occupied Oţelul under coach Costel Orac at the end of the season 2002/03 only rank 13 and had in the relegation matches against FC Oradea , the representative from the Divizia B compete. Although the opponent prevailed, Oțelul was allowed to stay first class, as the two local rivals Astra Ploieşti and FC Petrolul Ploieşti merged in the summer of 2003 and a place in the House of Lords became free. A year later, the club reached the final of the Cupa României 2003/04 , which was lost 2-0 to Dinamo Bucharest .
On December 27, 2005, Petre Grigoraş was hired a new coach. Grigoraş had dissolved his contract with Farul Constanța during the first half of the 2005/06 season and replaced interim coach Gigi Ion , who had taken over this role in November 2005 after Aurel Șunda was fired . In early July 2009 Grigoraş left the club in the direction of Politehnica Iaşi and was replaced by Dorinel Munteanu .
In the 2010/11 season , Oțelul Galați was Romanian champions for the first time in the club's history, qualifying directly for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League . There they were eliminated from the group bottom after six defeats. In July 2011 Oțelul won the Romanian Supercup by beating Steaua Bucharest 1-0 .
In the following years, however, the club played a mediocre role again. In the 2014/15 season, the club reached 17th place (relegation place) in League 1 and therefore played in League 2 from the 2015/16 season.
Galați went bankrupt in spring 2016. The re-establishment took place in the same year. They started again in League IV under the name ASC Oțelul Galați . There the club secured the championship title and rose to League III .
