A tricky few months in Curitiba had left Robaato Rasamu facing arguably the biggest challenge of his short managerial career. He'd taken charge of an Athlético Paranaense side that was underperforming and, the way he saw it, was filled with prima donnas earning far too much money and in some cases were far too old.
Having fully relaxed for a month or so, it was time for Robaato Rasamu to consider the two outstanding tasks on his Pentagon Pursuit. The next challenge on his globetrotting adventure was to find himself a job in South America. But importantly, it couldn't be any old South American club.
The Spartan Army massively upset all the odds to record the best season in club history and reach the Championship playoffs for the first time in 2031. But the challenge now was to build on that improvement and ensure they didn't suffer a repeat of the relegation in 2029.
The magic touch of Japanese manager Robaato Rasamu was rubbing off on his Kaizer Chiefs side as they looked set to qualify from their African Champions League group and led the way in South Africa's DStv Premiership. A welcome two-month mid-season break moving into 2035 gave Rasamu and his players a little time to recover, reset and refocus ahead of a huge few months.
Kaizer Chiefs enjoyed a successful first season under Robaato Rasamu, winning two domestic cups and securing continental football after just missing out on the South African title on the final day of the DStv Premiership.
King Leonidas was granted iconic status at The Spartans FC as led his unfancied charges to an unlikely League 1 title at the first time of asking. That meant his Spartan army were set for their 4th campaign in the cinch Championship with everyone expecting them to fail.
These were exciting times at Kaizer Chiefs as Robaato Rasamu's new manager bounce had seen them win some silverware and taken the Phefeni Glamour Boys top of the league after the first period of DStv Premiership.
Robaato Rasamu's 4-star reputation meant he could probably work for most clubs around the world. But rather than head to Europe, he was keen to test his abilities on a different continent.
Relegation is always a bitter pill to swallow. But in the case of The Spartans, it was always likely to come. King Leonidas, never one to get downheartened by a little misfortune, viewed the return to League 1 as an opportunity to realign, strengthen and weed out any bad eggs in his changing room.
At his quaint abode, away from the utter carnage on the streets of LA, sipping a particularly delicious Japanese whisky, Rasamu thought to himself "Two down and three to go."
