Brian McDermott has left Leeds United by mutual consent.
The former Reading boss had been in charge since April 2013, having signed a three-year contract.
McDermott helped keep the club in the Championship last season, during which time they were taken over by Italian businessman Massimo Cellino.
In a statement, Cellino said: "Brian is a great manager and a great guy. He has been unfortunate to work in such difficult circumstances.
"I did not fully understand the mess he had to work in, and the broken promises he had to deal with, until I have got involved trying to turn Leeds around.
"He has been a gentleman to deal with in our discussions and has been very understanding of my wish to implement a new structure. His main concern and priority at all times has been the welfare and protection of Leeds United."
