Current season

Clubul Sportiv Municipal Politehnica Iași is a professional football club from Iași, Romania. The club was founded in 2010[1] and currently plays in the Liga I.

History

2010–2012 (Liga II)

On August 2010, Tricolorul Breaza merged with Navoby Iași and formed ACSMU Politehnica Iași.[2] While in the Liga II, the club's objective was to return to the first tier of Romanian football. Ionuț Popa was appointed manager and Grigore Sichitiu as executive president.[3] In the summer of 2011, the club was renamed Clubul Sportiv Municipal Studenţesc Iași.

For the second half of the 2011–12 season ex-Romanian international Florin Prunea was brought in as manager.[4] There were major changes in the roster, the coach considering almost half of the players unfit for attacking promotion. On June 2, 2012, after two years in the second tier of Romanian football, CSMS Iași gained promotion to Liga I[5] after the 4–2 victory against Farul Constanța.[6]

After the exodus of players such as Cristian Hăisan, Yamoudou Camara and Rodoljub Marjanović,[7] the team went into reconstruction, with players such as Petar Jovanović,[8] Cezar Lungu[9] and Claudiu Ionescu joining CSMS Iași.[10] On 29 August, Liviu Ciobotariu was appointed head coach.[11] The Moldavian team finished the 2012–13 season in 17th place and were relegated to the second division.

Even though there were hopes that they would be accepted for the 2013–14 Liga I season, eventually CS Concordia Chiajna secured the last place in the first league, due to the relegation of FC Rapid București for financial issues.[12]

For the 2013–14 Liga II season, promising young coach Costel Enache was brought in to head a team that retained the services of its young talent, the likes of: Alexandru Crețu, Adrian Avrămia and Andrei Herghelegiu.[13] To supplement the departure of players to Liga I teams, manager Florin Prunea brought in Bogdan Miron, Ionuț Bădescu and Tomi Petrescu among others.

2014– (Liga I)

With Marius Lăcătuș as the head coach they finished 1st on 2013–14 Liga II and were promoted back to Liga I. For the 2014–15 season, the team debuted for the first time in Cupa Ligii with a win over ASA Tîrgu Mureș in the competition play-off and the team advanced to the last 16 where they defeated a former Romanian Cup and Liga I winner CFR Cluj.

2015–16 Liga I season was the best in the history of CSMS Iași and in the football history of Iași. After a great campaign, the team finished 7th and qualified for the 2016–17 UEFA Europa League under the command of Italian coach Nicolò Napoli and with a team that relied on experienced players like: Andrei Cristea, Bojan Golubović, Ionuț Voicu and Branko Grahovac.[14] In the second round of the 2016–17 UEFA Europa League, CSMS Iași encountered Croatian team Hajduk Split and after a 2–2 draw at Iași, CSMS were defeated at Split 1–2, prematurely leaving the competition.[15]

On 22 July 2016, the club announced that it had changed its name, from CSM Studențesc Iași to CSM Politehnica Iași, a name more closely linked to the Iași football tradition and dissolved FC Politehnica Iași.[16]

Stadium

CSM Politehnica Iași plays its home matches at the Emil Alexandrescu stadium. It is located in the borough of Copou near the Alexandru Ioan Cuza University. It has a capacity of 11,390.[17]

Emil Alexandrescu Stadium.

Supporters

The biggest ultras groups of CSM Politehnica Iași are Băieții Veseli and Ultras. Both supported Politehnica Iași until its dissolution in 2009 and have gone to CSMP as they regard it as a successor of Poli. There are friendly relationships with Moldova team, Zimbru Chișinău, as Băieții Veseli and Oastea Fiară, Zimbru's main ultras group, are "brothers".

Rivalries

CSM Politehnica Iași's eternal rival is the other team from the Moldavia region, FC Vaslui, and the matches between these teams are known as the "Derby of Moldavia", and often end with violent clashes between the supporters of both teams. The rivalry between FC Vaslui and Poli Iași started in 2004, when Vaslui were promoted to the top division of Romanian football, being a result of the demographic and political rivalry between Iași and Vaslui cities.

However, CSM Politehnica Iași has also developed a recent rivalry with FC Botoșani, another team from Moldavia.
