Derek Adams has left Morecambe - just days after leading the club to a historic promotion into League One.
The Scot led the Shrimps to the third tier for the first time in their history after beating Newport in Monday's League Two play-off final at Wembley.
But just 72 hours after that success, he's now left the club to "pursue an opportunity elsewhere".
It's widely expected that he'll be heading to Bradford City, with the links intensifying last week.
The club released a statement this morning, with co-chairman Rod Taylor saying: "Derek did a fantastic job during his year and a half at Morecambe, not only guiding the club into League One, but also acting as a catalyst for positive change and encouraging everybody at the club to aim higher.
"For all of that we thank him, and we wish him all the best for the future. However, the club is now solely focused on moving decisively to appoint the right manager to build upon the huge opportunity that promotion creates for both the football club and the town.
"That manager will be tasked with delivering the club's ambitious vision and strategy, and conversations have started already."
Co-chairman Graham Howse added: "We are absolutely confident that we can recruit the right manager to move the club forwards.
"Not only in terms of competing on the pitch, but also in progressing player development and ensuring that every part of the club's football operations are run as effectively and efficiently as possible."
