while also winning the Romanian Cup final, 8th in 1965, 4th in 1966 and 12th in 1967. Golden era (1967–1983) In the summer of 1967 the club changed its name from Dinamo Pitești to FC Argeș Pitești, a name that wrote history, remaining forever in the history of the Romanian football and in the remembering of the fans. The first season with the new name was a great one for FC Argeș, which finished 2nd, with the same number of points as Steaua București, the champions of that season. The best ranking in club's history until then was followed only by a 12th place in 1969, a 10th place in 1970 and a 9th place in 1971. Then in the 1971–72 Divizia A season nothing announced the great final success of "the White-Violets". In the first round the team had a bad debut, with a defeat (1–4) at SC Bacău and the tension within the team led to the dismissal of coach Titus Ozon, in his place was promoted a young coach, Florin Halagian, a former player of Dinamo Pitești. At his debut on August 29, 1971, being the youngest coach of Divizia A, FC Argeș won 2–1 against Rapid București, both goals scored by Jercan. At the end of the first part of the championship, FC Argeş was on the 4th place, with 18 points, following the teams: UTA Arad, SC Bacău and Universitatea Cluj. The winter preparations took place at Băile Herculane, followed by a strong tournament in the former East Germany, tournament that would help the team a lot in the second part of the championship. The second part was extraordinary, FC Argeș being defeated only twice (0–2, at home against Steagul Roșu Brașov and 0–1, at Cluj-Napoca, against CFR). There were followed by 9 games without defeats, in which Halagian played the big card several times. Thus, in the match against Politehnica Iași, he played in each half with a different line of midfielders, to everyone's surprise, to force the victory and to have fresh players until the end. In the penultimate stage (21 June 1972), at Pitești, FC Argeș defeated Crişul Oradea, becoming champion of Romania for the first time in its history, with one round before the end of the championship. The team played very offensive and ambitious, with an inspired Dobrin at the helm. The score was 4–1 (3–1) for "the White-Violets", through
