January 2005 came with rumors which said that Mittal Steel would take over the team, for which they already were shirt sponsors. Soon after, Viorel Anghelinei, former player of Oțelul and referee, was appointed as the new president of the club. The new manager of Oțelul, Mihai Stoichiţă was announced on 23 January.
Although at the end of the previous season they relegated, Oțelul managed to retain their spot in Divizia A after the merger of FC Astra Ploieşti and newly promoted Petrolul Ploieşti. After 15 rounds played in Divizia A, Costel Orac was fired in December and replaced with Sorin Cârţu.
In the summer of 2002, coach Marius Lăcătuş refused to extend his contract saying that he is unhappy with the current financial situation at Oțelul and left the team. Soon after, many players whose contracts were expiring also left the team. They were joined by vice-president Mihai Stoica, who signed for Steaua. President Ion Ionică appointed Costel Orac as the new manager. Later in that summer, Igor Pîrvu is named as the new president of the club.

In the winter, FC Vaslui bought Huţan, Sfârlea, Bukvić and Mihalcea. The team impressed in the second half of the season, finishing on 7th place. FC Vaslui assured its presence in the next season in Liga I, on 29th matchday. In the last game of the season, Steaua came to Vaslui, who needed a victory to assure its 23rd title. Unsurprisingly, Steaua won the match, but the win was very contested by Rapid Bucuresti's officials, but also by the team owner, Adrian Porumboiu. On the very next day, he announced his retirement from FC Vaslui, and the team also remained with only 8 players for the new season.
