Former Carlisle United midfielder Antony Sweeney's latest spell at Hartlepool United is coming to an end.
The ex-Blues man is set to depart Victoria Park after a stint as first-team coach.
Sweeney is moving on as new boss Darren Sarll instals a new backroom team at the Monkey Hangers.
The 40-year-old, who had a long playing spell at the club, later returned as coach.
He said he will leave the club with pride.
“I would like thank everyone at the club for the support they have given me over the years," Sweeney said in a statement.

Everyone at the Club would like to thank Tony for his service and wish him the very best of luck in his next chapter.
“It has given me enormous pride and pleasure to represent Hartlepool United as both a player and as a coach, and I leave with some incredible memories on and off the pitch.
“I want to say a huge thank you to the fans who have been superb with me from the beginning and I hope that the coming years see them celebrating the success that their loyalty deserves.
“I wish everyone success for the future.”
Sweeney is Hartlepool's third all-time appearance maker with 444 outings, while he spent two years with Carlisle from 2014 to 2016.
Signed by Graham Kavanagh, Sweeney made 58 appearances and scored six goals, the majority of his United career coming under Kavanagh's successor Keith Curle.
