Plymouth Argyle director of football Neil Dewsnip is expected to leave the club.
His departure comes in the wake of Wayne Rooney's departure as head coach earlier this week with the club bottom of the Championship.
Dewsnip was appointed in December 2019 and oversaw the club's rise from League Two to the Championship under managers Ryan Lowe and Steven Schumacher.
He also led the side, along with coach Kevin Nancekivell, to survival in the Championship last season in the wake of Ian Foster's sacking.
A former school teacher, Dewsnip began his coaching career at Everton's academy before working with England's age group sides and was part of the backroom team with Canada's women when they won Olympic gold in 2021.
First-team coach Kevin Nancekivell and captain Joe Edwards are temporary charge of first team affairs as the club searches for a new manager.

Neil Dewsnip's departure is not really a surprise after the year Argyle have had.
He was instrumental in the appointment of Ian Foster, whose disastrous three-month spell at the club almost saw the Pilgrims relegated from the second tier.
He was also part of the team that recruited Rooney - leading many fans to accuse Dewsnip of giving jobs to people he knew, rather than the right candidates having worked closely with both - he was at the FA with Foster and coached Rooney at Everton's academy.
But he is responsible for what happens on the pitch and this season Argyle have been poor - winning just four of their 24 league games and conceding a Championship-high 53 goals in the process.
Many of the club's summer signings have failed to impress, whether that be due to injury or poor form, and as director of football in Argyle's recruitment system it was ultimately his call on which players to sign.
Whoever succeeds him has a difficult job - not only do they have to appoint a new head coach, but they must also guide a struggling club with a limited budget through this month's transfer window with the aim of bolstering the squad to give them a chance of staying up.
