Kevin Nicholson has announced that he has left Everton to join an "international organisation".
The Blues confirmed the appointment of the Coach Educator in April which was seen as an integral part of the club's strategic review following the departure of Marcel Brands the previous December. The boyhood Evertonian was a junior player at Derby County and was the youngster ever Englishman to hold the UEFA Pro Licence after qualifying aged 29.
Having worked with Bangor City, Cardiff City, Derby County and Exeter City his move to Finch Farm was confirmed. However on Friday, after just a few months with the club, he revealed that he couldn't turn down a new offer that had been placed in front of him.

In a statement released to social media, Nicholson wrote: "Great to have had the opportunity to contribute to the Coach Education at Everton Football Club. Have learned so much working with people at Finch Farm, across the club and academy.
"Looking ahead, have been fortunate enough to have been offered a leading football role for an international organisation. This is an opportunity that I have decided to take.
"Look forward to working with the coaches, academy directors and technical directors across the world."
Everton have seen much change behind-the-scenes over recent weeks and months, with Gareth Prosser being confirmed as the club's academy director in June and Carl Darlington moving into a role as head of academy coaching earlier this month.
