Steaua București and Steagul Roșu Brașov and after a talk with the latter's coach, Silviu Ploeșteanu, he chose Steagul on the considerations that he would have had more opportunities to play.[1][2][3][4] He remained at Steagul over the course of 13 seasons, the highlights of this period being a fourth place in the 1964–65 Divizia A season and 10 games played in European competitions, including a 4–2 against Espanyol Barcelona at the 1965–66 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup and a 3–2 victory on aggregate against Beşiktaş at the 1974–75 UEFA Cup, also at end of the 1967–68 Divizia A season, the club relegated to Divizia B, but Adamache stayed with the club, promoting back to the first division after one year.[1][2][3][4] He played his last Divizia A match on 29 June 1975 in a 2–1 home victory against Dinamo București, a competition in which he has a total of 253 appearances and after one year of absence, he came out of retirement to play again for Steagul in the 1976–77 Divizia B, trying to help the team promote to Divizia A, but failing to do so.[1][3][5] Adamache drowned and died at age 36 while swimming in the Danube in July 1978.[2][3][4]
