Stephen Kenny will begin the search for another coach, following Sunday's appointment by Birmingham City of John Eustace.
Eustace will quit the role he began last March to focus fully on his new St Andrew’s role.
He was the third man to fill the number three role in Kenny’s coaching staff - after Damien Duff and Anthony Barry.

Duff left in January 2021 and was replaced by Chelsea coach Barry, who earlier this year was poached by Belgium boss Roberto Martinez ahead of their World Cup campaign.
Mirror online has learned that Kenny fully intends on replacing Eustace, who was yesterday confirmed as Birmingham boss, just a day after the Championship side parted company with Lee Bowyer.
He had been assistant manager at QPR but left that role after the appointment last month of Michael Beale.
A former player, he made over 400 appearances for Coventry, Dundee United, Middlesbrough, Stoke City, Hereford, Watford and Derby.
He said of his new role: “I am very proud to be here. Obviously, I am a Birmingham lad and I know the potential of the club and how important it is to the fans.
“We have underachieved in the past few seasons and a club of this size, with the support that this club has, we need to be aiming higher.
“I can't wait to get going, meet the staff and get my ideas across to the players out on the pitches as soon as we can.
“The big picture is to get us as competitive as we can, to build a team that the fans are proud of, to play exciting football and win as many games as we can.”
Keith Andrews remains as Kenny's number two ahead of the return in September of the Nations League, while Dean Kiely is also on the coaching ticket in his role with the goalkeepers.
