Playing career

After starting out with local teams,[1] Madrid-born Sabas went on to play as a senior for Rayo Vallecano, Atlético Madrid (where he was used mainly as a substitute),[2][3] Real Betis, CP Mérida, Albacete Balompié, Real Balompédica Linense, Hércules CF and Ciudad de Murcia,[4] starting and finishing his 17-year career with Galáctico Pegaso and retiring at the age of 35.[1]

Sabas appeared in 196 La Liga matches over nine seasons, and scored 34 goals. In Segunda División, he added 82 games and 17 goals.

Coaching career

Sabas returned to Atlético in early 2009 as part of former teammate Abel Resino's coaching staff,[2] having already worked with him in that capacity at Ciudad de Murcia[5] and Levante UD.[6] His first managerial experience occurred with UD San Sebastián de los Reyes during the 2013–14 season,[7] and he later became a director of football at the very same club.

On 29 December 2016, Sabas was appointed head coach at Extremadura UD of the third level,[8] but was sacked the following 1 August.[9] He returned to the Estadio Francisco de la Hera on 1 May 2018,[10] helping achieve a first-ever promotion to the second tier;[11] on 10 November, however, he was again dismissed.[12]

Sabas was appointed by Córdoba CF on 10 March 2020, after the dismissal of Raül Agné.[13] On 1 December, after only six matches, he was sacked.
