The first season in the third division for Ștefănești took place under a succession of managers. First, Costel Pană was appointed as the new head coach in August, but Pană left the club after four rounds and was replaced by Dragoș Mihalache, who was in charge until January 2012 when he was in turn replaced by Iulian Mihăescu, who was dismissed after four matches and, after the interim offered by the couple Cristian Mătărău - Daniel Dumitrache, Adrian Peiu was appointed as head coach for the rest of the season leading the club to 4th-place finish.[3][4][5][6][7]
In the next season the club finished in 5th place with 32 points, as was penalised 9 points by the Romanian Football Federation because they broke the rules, by not having three youth squads registered.[8]

To begin with at youth level, and from 2021 the senior team was admitted in Liga IV – Ilfov County for the 2021–22 season, finishing 1st in Series 2 under the guidance of Laurențiu Tudor, but not having the right to promotion, as was admitted on demand, does not participate in the county championship play-off.[13]
