Mamelodi Sundowns supporters illustrated they have had enough of coach Henri Michel and it seems the feeling is mutual from the Frenchman.
The former Les Bleus mentor had to be escorted by riot police in an armoured vehicle following the Brazilians' 1-0 extra-time defeat to Platinum Stars in the second round of the Nedbank Cup.
Sunday's loss was preceded by a 4-1 rout at the hands of their Tshwane rivals and league-leaders SuperSport United, leading the Downs faithful to chant: "Michel must go."
The swarm of fans also tried to break down the security gate at Atteridgeville's Super Stadium during the cup encounter and attempted to mob Michel following the final whistle.
Sources claim Sundowns owner Patrice Motsepe, who helped calm the troublesome crowd, is set to meet with the 61-year-old to discuss his possible departure from the club.
One informant told SAPA: "From what we heard Michel will be on the first plane out of Johannesburg. There is no way he can continue with Sundowns after the way the fans reacted. He is finished at Sundowns."
The Brazilians are expected to release a statement today (Monday) regarding Michel's position at the club.
