The 2024–25 season is the 24th season in the history of FC Botoșani, and the club's 12th consecutive season in Liga I.[1] In addition to the domestic league, the team is scheduled to participate in the Cupa României.
Summary
During the team's inaugural competitive match of the season against Oțelul Galați, coach Bogdan Andone was issued a red card following his vigorous objection to the assistant referee and verbal altercation with the main referee due to their "refusal" to award his players a free kick on the fringe of the opposing team's penalty area. As a form of discipline, he received a fine and was suspended for four matches. Subsequently, the coach expressed remorse for his actions.[2] Ten days later, his contract was terminated.[3] He was replaced by Liviu Ciobotariu, who coached Botoșani in 2018–19.[4]
