The best ranking of Cetate Deva was a 4th place at the end of the 1973–74 Divizia B season, period when the club was managed by Ladislau Vlad.

[1] After World War II, Corvinul Deva was an active part of the third tier and regional leagues, but without obtaining any notable results for the next 20 years.

Devenii appeared in the re-organized Divizia C during the 1964–65 season, under the name of Minerul Deva (The Miner), financially supported by the mining industry from Hunedoara County.

At that time, heads of the club, D. Cepănaru and I. Anescu decided to make all the needed efforts to promote the team in the second tier.

The squad was composed of the following players: V. Rusu – Ceaușu I, Ceaușu II, T. Pop, Puia, Stanciu, Nenu, Iancu, Macovei, Gherga, Tarcu, Precup, Macavei, Achim, Stark, Haidu, Uilecan, Mircea Marian, Mihai Marian, Moț, Naghi, Sereș, Stoian, Covaciu, P. Grigore, I. Ardelean and Ș.

In the following years it seemed that Deva was pursued by misfortune, finishing no less than three times in a row on the second place (1981, 1982 and 1983), at one, five and two points behind Strungul Arad, Metalurgistul Cugir, respectively Minerul Lupeni.

During the 1970s and 1980s, Mureșul was also managed by Petre Dăscăliță, Adalbert Kassai, Traian Ivănescu, Constantin Ștefan, Dumitru Borcău, Teodor Pop, Gheorghe Țurlea or Carol Gal and were part of the squad, players such as: Balla, Naghi, Sava, Bucur, Fogoroși, Nicoară, Ștef, Vidican, Preda, Tirchineci, Mechimici, Dumitreasă, Olușuteanu, Vălășuteanu, Szabados, Mateescu, Văetuș, Varga or Rădos.

[2] After promotion, the club encountered financial problems and withdrew in the first part of the season, subsequently being excluded from the league.

In the summer of 2001, the club managed to enroll in the third tier under the old name of Mureșul Deva, then obtaining two middle-table rankings (8th and 5th).

[3] Mureșul promoted after only one season, this time from the second place, taking advantage of the Romanian football league system restructuring.

During the late 2000s and early 2010s, Mureșul Deva succeeded to become again a constant presence at the level of Liga II, for the first time since the 1970s and 1980s.

In this period, for Mureșul Deva played footballers such as: Rahoveanu, Lipitor – N. Oltean, Dosan, Vârtic, Ad.

After a disastrous start, Ciprian Pepenar was sacked and former Oțelul Galați player and coach, Viorel Tănase, was hired.

Also in the last rounds of the first part Ousmane N'Doye signed a player/manager contract with the club and the team began to climb in the league table.

At the end of the 2018–19 season the club relegated but was spared by the Romanian Football Federation, due to lack of teams.
