Athlético Paranaense came into 2038 armed with an exciting arsenal of young talents like strikers Pipoca and Esdras, winger Paulo Roberto Aal and Brazil international Lucas Pena Barcelos. And manager Robaato Rasamu was excited about the club's future.
A massive summer rebuild had seen Robaato Rasamu totally reshape his Athlético Paranaense squad. He'd sold off the bad eggs at the club and was now operating with a much younger squad that was packed to the rafters with potential.
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.
Robinho Lazaró was proving that transfers weren't everything in the beautiful game. He'd relied on Envigado FC's prodigious youth development to continually churn out new starlets that had won 10 league stage titles.

Twenty years since departing South America to pursue his dream of managing in Europe, Roberto Nascimento da Silva Lazaró was mobbed by adoring fans as he landed in Medellín for the first time since being sacked by Colombia in 2044.
Robinho Lazaró had well and truly established himself as one of the best managers in South America, but every manager wants to test their skills against the best in the world.
The Argentinian title - the only top-tier division eluding Robinho Lazaró on his Aventuras Américas journey - was a possibility in the first year of the 2040s.
Strong form with Newell's Old Boys had led top-tier side Godoy Cruz to take a gamble on Colombian / Brazilian title specialist Robinho Lazaró at the start of the 2039/40 season.
