Former England defender Sol Campbell has left his role as manager of Southend United by mutual consent.
The 45-year-old took charge of the Shrimpers last October, but won only four of his 23 games in charge.
Southend were relegated after the League One season was ended in June, three months after matches were halted by the coronavirus pandemic.
"Whilst it was a difficult time fighting relegation, I still enjoyed the experience," Campbell said.
Former Macclesfield manager Campbell had been appointed at Southend on a deal until the end of the 2021-22 season.
His assistants Hermann Hreidarsson, Andy Cole and Tony Colbert have also left the club.
"There are obviously frustrations with how the season ended abruptly, and with what points we feel we could have been amassed," he said.
"The club have an exciting future with the plans for the new stadium in place, but with the current global Covid-19 situation having a profound effect on businesses, I am keen not to be a financial burden to the club."

Just goes to show that if you are a former international player you are not necessarily going to be a good manager.
