First-team coach and former striker Barry Corr has left Cambridge United by mutual agreement in the wake of their promotion back to League One.
Corr scored 19 goals in 41 games for the U's before returning to the club as a development coach in 2019.
He stepped up to the first-team backroom staff two years later and has twice had spells as interim head coach.
"I've been fortunate to work under three excellent head coaches, all of whom have informed and helped shape my ideas and understanding of the game," he said.
"While there's definitely sadness in leaving, there's also real excitement about what comes next, and I feel now is the right time to move on and embrace a new challenge."
One of the head coaches he worked under was Mark Bonner, now the club's director of football.
He said: "Barry has been an excellent servant for 11 years, performing multiple roles both on and off the pitch and we thank him for his tireless effort.
"We part ways mutually as we both realise a natural moment to do so, allowing the club to prepare for the new season and Barry to make the next steps in his coaching journey in the future."
