Eddie Wolecki Black has left his post as Motherwell FC's women's team manager, to pursue other options.
The former Airdrie manager wants to concentrate on a degree course at college.
Assistants Stuart Hall and Willie Kinniburgh have agreed to lead the team on an interim basis.
Wolecki Black, 56, joined Motherwell in 2018 alongside assistant Donald Jennow, and led the club to the SWPL2 title and promotion to the top flight.
They also guided the club to their first Scottish Cup final in 38 years.
Having left for a short period at Celtic, Wolecki Black returned in late 2019, but the campaign was disrupted and will resume on Sunday after a lengthy break.
Motherwell chief executive Alan Burrows praised Wolecki Black and told the club's website: "I want to put on record my thanks to Eddie for all he has done for Motherwell in his time with us.
"He achieved everything we asked him to and more. However, we both felt that this was probably a good time for a change, allowing the club to focus on a new direction, particularly with next season in mind.
"I would like to wish Eddie every success, particularly with his impending degree and with his future football career."
Wolecki Black said: "I am grateful for the opportunities Motherwell Football Club have provided me with to grow the women’s team over my two spells here.
"We have made great strides forward to become a top-flight team, and the club has every chance of continuing to build on that in the coming months and years.
"I wish everyone at the club all the best for the future and the resumption of the league season."
