Club career

In August 2018, Andrianarimanana made the move to Kaizer Chiefs. The transfer was a controversial one as his former club Fosa Juniors FC insisted that the player was still under contract with their club, while the Kaizer Chiefs' staff said that they were under the impression that Andrianarimanana was a free agent.[5] Andrianarimanana signed a two-year deal with the club.[6]

Andrianarimanana played at the 2017 and 2018 COSAFA Cup, in the latter competition he was named player of the tournament.[5]
