Trebor Mahtal was building a superb young team at Baník Ostrava, dominating Czechia and coming so close to Europa League glory in 2064. But the 80-year-old Zambian manager was intent on testing his team's abilities against Europe's finest.
Zambian manager Trebor Mahtal had built a 40-year career around bringing promising talents to Europe's less fancied leagues and taking on the continent's elite.

Hapoel Be'er Sheva set a new Israeli Premier League record points tally without winning a title in the 2057/58 campaign. But, despite apparently being delighted with Trebor Mahtal's efforts, the board failed to back him financially. So Mahtal wasted no time in resigning at the start of the summer.
An intriguing option sees Trebor Mahtal join a relatively unfancied club that just missed out on its national title and technically leave the European mainland.
