Matters came to a head recently when the club's supporters called for Habas' head after a string of poor results, which saw Sundowns relinquish their position at the top of the PSL's standings.
"I have decided to resign, but I'm still here in South Africa," Habas says.
While the club's boss Patrice Motsepe is currently in Chloorkop talking to the supporters about the matter Habas has vowed not to set foot at the club's headquarters bearing in mind the circumstances under which he left the team. The Spaniard admits he was left with no option but to leave as the pressure from the supporters to leave was too much to bear.
In the end Habas says the "safety of my family" is very important to him and hence he decided to quit despite the fact that he admits he was still enjoying being at the helm of the club's coaching reigns.
However, Habas has not officially cancelled the contract yet and expect the matter to be finalised on Monday.
"I still didn't cancel the contract," he adds via SMS. "I don't wanna talk about it even that (before cancelling the contract)".
Your comments on this story...
Thabang u r right, Sunflops needs a couch not a coach... hahahahahahaaaa lol
Look guys....it's like devorce, it's not ideal but necessary at times where irreconcileble differences arise.
Habus, do'nt look back please. Phew!
Other favourites include: brace-'drace', hat-trick, hand-drick, Khosi-Khozi, brilliance-'brilliancy' lol! Doctor loves that one. hl,hl,hl!
Even on the pitch it was evident, the tempo with which we approached games was always positive, throw ins were taken quickly before the opponents regrouped, but nowadays we wait for Booth for 5mins to run to the box to waste it by pushing people, causing fouls against us. Nx!
Booth must fokoff too!
UP THE BUCS
You can follow Habus my outie, vele I'm expecting 1 in10 atleast to see the 'light', that's why you'll never see a thousand Quantams to watch a Downs game, but Z4's, Slk's and Scirrocco's in abundance. mh, mh.
Okay nama bus ayi 2 ke! for the few like you (roger that) who supported Downs for zonal and tribal affillations. lol.
So big ups to you Masandawana!
I still insist that Krol must go & Graig Rosslee must takeover!
I can't be fooled by lucky wins of recent times!
Let him go now because there's two more trophies to salvage our already battered pride nothing was gonna change, we were clearly on a downward spiral gents, this is the best way for both parties involved.
