Niall Currie has left his role as Portadown boss with immediate effect with two games of the Irish Premiership season remaining.
Currie took over as Ports boss for a second spell in October 2022 after previously managing the club between 2016 and 2018.
His last game in charge was Saturday’s heavy 4-0 defeat against relegation-threatened Crusaders in which Currie criticised his side’s “abysmal” performance.
Currie could not prevent the club from being relegated in the 2022-23 season, but he led the Ports back to the top flight at the first time of asking as they won the Championship title the following campaign.
They also reached the BetMcLean Cup final in 2024, but were beaten in the final by Linfield.
He then guided Portadown to an eighth place finish in their first campaign back in the Irish Premiership last season, two points off seventh and a spot in the European play-offs.
The club currently sit 10th with two games left to play, away to Ballymena United on Saturday and away to Bangor on Saturday, 25 April.
The 53-year-old has also managed Dundela, Carrick Rangers, Ards, Loughgall and Annagh United.
