Many thought that the English coach, who guided Bafana to the quarter-finals at the Africa Cup of Nations, would step down at this presser and he announced just that to a packed out room at Kilarney Country Club.

Baxter said that he felt he was not the right man to take the team forward, while he also answered a host of questions from the media.

Stuart Baxter: “Someone should continue with this project and therefore am resigning as @BafanaBafana coach.”
