The problem was that from then on I was looked upon as not really right for new management positions because of my now lowly status.
Not fair? You bet it isn't. Does it happen? You bet it does.
I would have been better off giving prospective employers some bullshit like "I've been taking a rest to consider my options"

I'm curious since most Europeans use the CV as their method of context. Is it not appropriate to keep off jobs that are not relevant or will do you a disservice like going from a managerial job to flipping burgers just so you can keep a roof over your head?
Would it have been appropriate or possible to exclude that job and make your statement of "taking a rest"?
Americans are much more selective of how they create their resume as it's not the entire body of career or work of an individual.
