Leeds United will be looking for a new head of academy.
Leeds United head of academy coaching Richard Cresswell has announced he is stepping down from his position at the club.
Cresswell made the announcement on Instagram that he is moving on.
He says his final day at the Whites will come this week, and did not give a reason for his decision.
Cresswell was praised by BBC Radio Leeds reported Adam Pope, who remarked on Twitter: “Sad to see Richard Cresswell leave #lufc . Coaching has clearly improved in his time in the role.”
Cresswell reported to Leeds head of academy Adam Underwood and was appointed in the role last October.
He is a former Leeds player, having featured for the club between 2005 and 2007.
Leeds’ under-23 side managed by Carlos Corberan won the PDL North title last season and a number of players have gone onto feature for the first team.
Cresswell’s work has been to help some of the players get ready to replace the new first team stars.
