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.[5] 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[6] and Levante UD.[7] His first managerial experience occurred with UD San Sebastián de los Reyes during the 2013–14 season,[8] and he later became a director of football at that club.
On 29 December 2016, Sabas was appointed head coach at Extremadura UD of the third division,[9] but was sacked the following 1 August.[10] He returned to the Estadio Francisco de la Hera on 1 May 2018,[11] helping achieve a first-ever promotion to the second tier;[12] on 10 November, however, he was again dismissed.[13]
Sabas was appointed by Córdoba CF on 10 March 2020, after the dismissal of Raül Agné.[14] On 1 December, after only six matches, he was relieved of his duties.[15]
On 24 October 2023, after nearly three years without coaching, Sabas was named manager of UD Melilla in Primera Federación.[16] He was dismissed the following 4 March, with the club in the relegation zone.[17]
