Dick Campbell has resigned as Arbroath boss after seven years in charge.
The news comes after the Gayfield side were knocked out of the Scottish Cup by League 2 Spartans.
He was the second-longest serving manager in Scotland behind, ironically, the man who put him out of the competition, Dougie Samuel.
A club statement read: "Arbroath Football Club can confirm this evening that Manager Dick Campbell, Assistant Manager Ian Campbell and coaches Robert Douglas and John Young have stepped down from their positions.
"Having joined the club in 2016, they have served Arbroath Football club with distinction over the past seven years bringing many successes to the club, including the League 2 and League 1 championships, and led the club to their fifth successive season of Championship football at Gayfield.
“The club wishes to place on record, it’s sincere gratitude to Dick, Ian, Robert and John for all their wonderful efforts and service to Arbroath FC during arguably one of the most successful periods in the Club’s history and wish them all the very best in the future.
“A further statement shall be released in due course.”
Arbroath currently sit ninth in the Scottish Championship.
