Richard Money has resigned as manager of National League bottom club Solihull Moors just 26 days after taking charge.
The 62-year-old former Scunthorpe, Fulham, Liverpool and Luton Town defender took over at Damson Park on 5 October, following the departure of previous manager Liam McDonald.
But he has now quit ahead of Sunday's FA Cup first-round tie at Wycombe.
Assistant Manager Gary Whild will take charge along with coach Keith Bertschin and director of sport Mark Fogarty.
A club statement said: "After discussions with the board, Richard Money has decided to resign as first-team manager.
"Solihull Moors are disappointed that Richard's short time in charge has ended so soon and will commence the search for a replacement immediately"
Money added: "There are so many people at this club who have worked so hard to get it to the level it is playing at right now and it deserves to stay there.
"To do so it needs someone who can fully commit to the club's future and unfortunately I am unable to do that right now."

WILL THIS SAGA LAST LONGER THAN WAR AND PEACE?
Sunderland's search goes on
Sunderland are still to identify the man they want to take the club forward as they continue their search for a new manager.
Chief executive Martin Bain has held talks with potential candidates in recent days and the odds on Barnsley’s Paul Heckingbottom returning to the club where he was a trainee have tumbled to evens with some bookmakers.
However, it is understood Bain is still pondering a range of options for an appointment he simply cannot afford to get wrong after David Moyes and Simon Grayson both presided over disastrous spells at the Stadium of Light.
Heckingbottom is understood to be in the running, while former Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka has been linked with the vacancy - although sources close to the Spaniard have distanced him from it - and Ally McCoist, who worked with Bain at Rangers, has also come under consideration.

That would be Ally McCoist the former Sunderland striker with 8 goals in 56 appearances. I am not sure 1 in 7 makes someone a striker . Perhaps Sunderland wasn't and maybe still isn't his team. With those stats he makes Rowooooool a prolific striker.

TODAYS ‘TOFFEE NEWS’
Everton, who spent £140m in the summer transfer window, offered Watford £8.5m for boss Marco Silva.
AND
The Toffees are willing to double Silva's wages and give him a considerable January transfer budget.
BUT
Everton have ruled Silva and ex-England boss Sam Allardyce out of the running for the job.
AND BIG SAM SAYS
Big Sam gives up on Everton....
Sam Allardyce has ruled himself out of the running to be the next Everton manager after being put off by the club’s indecision.
The former Crystal Palace manager was linked with filling the vacancy left by departure of Ronald Koeman, who was sacked three and a half weeks ago.
However, after putting under-23 coach David Unsworth in temporary charge Everton are understood to have made an approach for Watford’s Marco Silva this week with Allardyce seemingly dropping down the pecking order.
The former England boss said the lack of movement from the Toffees convinced him it was best to withdraw from consideration.
“It never materialised as I thought it would, unfortunately,” Allardyce told talkSPORT.
“For me such a long time without a decision (meant) I had to make a decision myself.
“The decision was it was probably better it wasn’t me, and I’d move on to something else. It would have been a fabulous job, but it just didn’t feel right.
“I think when you’re sat in my position you want people to be decisive and feel like they want you. I didn’t get that feeling overall. They were hesitating that I was the man.”
MEANWHILE OVER IN SUNDERLAND
Former Manchester United forward Dwight Yorke, 46, has applied to become the next manager of Sunderland. Yorke, who played for the Black Cats, says he is yet to hear anything back.
BUT
Sunderland remain some way off appointing a new manager even though it is now more than two weeks since they sacked Simon Grayson.

Dwight Yorke had 59 appearances and only 6 goals for the black cats which makes wee Ally seem prolific. No manager and the international break the Sunderland training ground must have been like Butlins for the players if they bothered to turn up.

WILL THESE SAGAS EVER END?
Everton have failed in a fresh move for Watford's Portuguese manager Marco Silva. The Toffees are prepared to pay Silva £3.5m a season - a significant increase on his current salary
AND IN SUNDERLAND
Barnsley boss Paul Heckingbottom has said he has had no contact with Sunderland over their managerial vacancy.
“As it stands there is nothing in it,” said Heckingbottom.
“In the time I’ve been here there have been opportunities to go and if I didn’t want to be here then I wouldn’t be here.”

"Leyton Orient sacked Steve Davis on Monday after an 11-game winless run left the east London club 19th in the National League table."
Surely not THE Steve 'Interesting' Davis. With Barry Hearn so closely involved with Orient over the years, it wouldn't have surprised me!
