Gareth Southgate will leave his role as head of elite development at the Football Association.
The former England international joined the FA in January 2011 - with the task of addressing the structure of youth football in the country.
However, he has revealed his desire to leave his post, while he will not be considered for the role of technical director at the FA.
He told reporters: "I'd like to place on record just how much I've enjoyed working at The FA over the past 18 months. It really has been an honour and a pleasure. Hopefully, I have been able to play some part in delivering important changes to the way children play at the youngest levels.
"It has also been a tremendous experience to work on the delivery of St. George's Park. The FA is heading in the right direction in terms of developing more, better coaches and players at all levels of the game under the leadership of David Bernstein, Alex Horne and Sir Trevor Brooking.
"I would like to thank them for their support throughout my time with the organisation. I've advised The FA that I will be pleased to help with specific projects moving forward."
Southgate appeared 57 times for his country.
