David Unsworth will bid farewell to Everton after nine years as he looks to delve into the managerial world.
The former Toffees player and caretaker boss will leave his current role as academy director and Under 23s manager to pursue his own managerial ambitions, it was announced on Tuesday.
Unsworth made 350 appearances for Everton during his playing days between 1992 and 1997 and 1998 to 2004, before joining the coaching set-up in 2013.
During his time with the U23s he was called upon to take charge of a faltering first team on a caretaker basis on two separate occasions.
