Except for the 1981/82 season in the 1980s and 1993/94 and 1994/95 in the 1990s, the club played then second-rate.

Only in 2002 managed under coach Ionut Popa the renewed rise in the Divizia A. After a mixed season so far Popa was replaced by the former national player Radu Nunweiller during the winter break of the season 2002/ 03, who lived for over twenty years in Switzerland and for this commitment was flown. On 17 April 2003 Nunweiller was released, but also his successor Costel Pană it failed to prevent the recent descent as Table. After the season the former technical director Gheorghe Boruga took over as coach, with the aim of immediate re- ascent. Looking for a sponsor to fund this project in March 2004 proved successful in the Bucharest businessman Marius Locic. This brought as a coach with the former national player Ilie Stan, however clearly missing out on promotion. The boarded in June 2004 new investor Ion Sandu therefore refused further employment Stans and transferred the team responsibility to Sorin cigan, the former coach of Premier League rivals Tricotaje Inew. After a poor start to the 2004/ 05 season cigan was released and assistant coach Dan Cuedan took over for the second time within two months as coach on an interim basis. In September 2004, the former goalkeeper Silviu Iorgulescu as the new coach and Marcel Coraş as the new manager was hired, with whom UTA at the end of the season finished a disappointing eleventh place.

The sporty low point in their history, however, followed in the season 2005/06.

In the Liga II the club had to contend with numerous financial difficulties. To get rid of the problems, a new public global corporation called SC FC UTA SA was founded in the summer of 2010 founded. This offered Florin Macovei, the ambitious patron of league rivals Fortuna Covaci, 20 % of its own shares for the starting right from Fortuna Covaci. Macovei had already complained about the lack of support his club on the part of the inhabitants of Covaci and accepted the offer of being able to mix his goal in Liga 1, to come closer. Then pulled the UTA own team that had finished fourth in the second division season 2009 /10 from the championship back, making the sporty relegated Fortuna Covaci retained their seats in the Liga II. Since UTA had but these secured in advance and there were no difficulties with the naming rights, the game 's operation could be maintained while Fortuna Covaci took the course in the Sechstklassigkeit.
