History
Clubul Sportiv Municipal Bucovina Rădăuți was founded in 1956 as Progresul Rădăuți to continue the football tradition in Rădăuți started before World War II by Hatmanul Luca Arbore Rădăuți and then continued by teams like: Jahn Rădăuți and Hagwiruch Rădăuți.
Bucovinenii played almost all their history at Liga III being a traditional team at this level and the best performance of the club was at the end of 1958–1959 season when it finished on the 2nd place.[1]
From the beginning of 60's the club played under the name of Metalul Rădăuți, the name with which it would evolve throughout the communist period, from 1991 the team was renamed as Bucovina Rădăuți.
At the end of the 2003–04 season of Divizia C, Bucovina Rădăuți finished 12th out of 14, resulting in relegation to the fourth division. For several consecutive years, the team was unable to return to the third division.
In the 2011–12 season, Bucovina Frătăuții Noi won the Liga IV – Suceava County and earned promotion to Liga III after defeating Pro Someș Feldru 3–1 in the play-off match. Then, in the summer of the same year, the team was moved from Frătăuții Noi to Rădăuți and renamed Bucovina Rădăuți, reviving the town's football tradition. Lucian Burlacu was appointed as the new head coach and led the team to an 8th-place finish in the first series of the 2012–13 Liga III season.[2]
Bucovina started the 2013–14 season with Daniel Stoica as head coach, who guided the team to a 10th overall finish.[3] Stoica resigned at the end of the first part of the following season and was replaced by veteran Ionel Ionesi, who secured 7th position in the table.[4][5]
In the 2015–16 Liga III season, the team led by Ionesi finished the first part in 9th position without any concerns about relegation. However, Rădăuțenii encountered financial problems and withdrew from the league during the winter break.[6]
In the summer of 2016, the team was enrolled in Liga IV – Suceava County with Ioan Lavric as head coach.[7] He was replaced during the winter break by Daniel Bălan.[8] After one year, Bucovina earned promotion back to Liga III by winning the county league title and defeating Bistrița-Năsăud County champions ACS Dumitra in the promotion play-off, 2–1 on aggregate (0–0 away and 2–1 at home).[9][10]
