Neil Warnock will step down as Huddersfield Town manager after their match against Stoke City on Wednesday evening - but insists he isn't retiring again.
The Terriers, who sit 17th in the Championship table, announced the 74-year-old will depart his role 'following extensive discussions'.
Warnock came out of retirement in February to return to Huddersfield 30 years after his first spell at the Yorkshire club started.
Having been seven points adrift of safety in March, Warnock guided the team to survival and then agreed a one-year contract extension in June.
Huddersfield chief executive Jake Edwards said the club is 'now ready to make a longer-term managerial appointment' with Warnock and his assistant Ronnie Jepson leaving this week.
