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 to Clubul Sportiv Municipal Studenţesc Iași.

For the second half of the 2011-12 season ex-Romanian international Florin Prunea was brought as manager.[4] There were major changes in the rooster, 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]

2012–2013 (Liga I)

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]

CSMS Iași finished the 2012–13 season on 17th place and was relegated to the second division.

2013–2014 (Liga II)

Even though there were hopes that CSMS Iași 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 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.

2014–2015 (Liga I)

With Marius Lăcătuș as the head coach they finished 1st on 2013–14 Liga II and promote back to Liga I. For the 2014-2015 season the team debuted for the first time in Cupa Ligii with a win over ASA Tîrgu Mureș (2013) in competition play-off and the team andvances to Last 16 where they defeated a former Romanian Cup and Liga I winner CFR Cluj.
