Fifty-seven years ago, on his 39th birthday, Trebor Mahtal left the streets of Mazabuka, in southern Zambia, for the first time to board a flight to Germany. After studying a few languages, watching as much football as possible and earning his National C licence, he went in search of his big break in football management.
AC Milan secured a solid 5th place after a massive summer clearout as Trebor Mahtal took control of his fourth Italian club. The Zambian now faced another big summer as he looked to bridge a big gap to the big two of Juventus and Napoli.
It was a case of one year and out as Trebor Mahtal celebrated his 70th birthday by winning the Slovenian league and cup double with NK Olimpija Ljubljana. The Zambian wrapped up the 13th league and 13th cup of his 30-year career and went in hunt of his 18th club to begin the task of ticking the 16th team off his Alphabet Challenge.
José Mourinho may consider himself "the special one" but there was no doubting that Roberto Nascimento da Silva Lazaró was "the great one."
Robinho Lazaró and his AC Milan players celebrated an unprecedented double-treble in the summer of 2060 - defending their Italian Supercup, Serie A and Champions League titles.
AC Milan ended a 52-year wait for their eighth Champions League success in the summer of 2059 as Robinho Lazaró led an exciting crop of youngsters to an unlikely treble. And the 75-year-old was convinced to stay in Italy for another year with a bumper £125,000 weekly salary.
Youthful AC Milan made an impressive start to their Scudetto defence in 2058/59, only losing twice and drawing none of their first 16 league games. But could Robinho Lazaró's young starlets continue to impress under pressure from a much more experienced Juventus?
Robinho Lazaró wrapped up the 27th league title of his long and distinguished Football Manager career as his AC Milan side won Serie A in 2057/58. His next task was to keep developing the club's exciting young prospects and defend the Scudetto.
AC Milan's strong start to the 2057/58 campaign saw the club's board dish out a new one-year contract that nearly doubled 73-year-old manager Robinho Lazaró's wages to £95,000-per-week.
Season one in Italy had been a rather surprising success for Robinho Lazaró. While the 73-year-old Colombian hadn't won a trophy with AC Milan, his side came mightily close to champions Inter on the final day - securing the record-high points total without winning Serie A.
