Andy Hessenthaler has stepped down from his position as manager of League Two side Gillingham.
The 46-year-old, who was in his second spell in charge of the Gills, took over at Priestfield in 2010.
"The chairman would like to thank Andy for all his hard work and effort over the past two years and both he and Andy, whilst disappointed the club has not achieved its aims this season or last, want nothing but success for the club going forward," read a statement on the club's official website.
"Given the huge and invaluable contribution Andy has made to the club, the chairman has asked him to consider joining the board as a full company director in a role that would assume responsibility and oversee all club football development, scouting, recruitment and all other football related matters.
"Andy has agreed to consider this offer over the next few days."
Hessenthaler previously managed Gillingham for four years up until 2004.
