Cape Town - Rassie Erasmus has shocked the Western Province Rugby Union (WPRU) by resigning from his position as director of coaching.
Erasmus's lawyer, Frikkie Erasmus, confirmed the news to Die Burger newspaper on Monday.
"Rassie is looking at other options. There are other choices, especially overseas," said Frikkie Erasmus.
Rassie Erasmus has already informed the Stormers' management team of his decision to quit.
He was last year mentioned as a possible candidate to become the next Springbok coach after he assisted them as a technical adviser at the World Cup in New Zealand. However, the South African Rugby Union (SARU) will only comment on the new Bok coaching team on January 27.
Heyneke Meyer and Gert Smal are apparently the two strongest candidates for the Springbok head coaching position.
Die Burger further understands that clubs in England and France are after Erasmus's services.
He started his tenure at the WPRU in late 2007. He then coached the Stormers to fifth position in the 2008 Super 14, just missing out on a semi-final spot. But he struggled to handle the constant media pressure and was appointed in his current role as director of coaching with Allister Coetzee taking over the coaching reigns.

Wow!
Didn't see that one coming!! what will this mean for SA Rugby? is this a sign that he will become the next Springbok Coach? will he take someone else's job like Naka Drotske, Heyneke Meyer, Frans Ludeke or John Mitchell and then let them become the next bok coach?
Or is the offers overseas so mouthwatering that he just couldn't resist? Maybe he's going to take over Nick Mallet's job?
This is truly a big shock! can't wait to see what happens next!!
