Shaun Harvey will leave his role as chief executive of the English Football League at the end of the season.
Harvey, 48, took over as CEO in 2013 and has been involved in football for 25 consecutive years.
Harvey said he was proud of what he has achieved "in what have not always been easy circumstances".
"I am happy to remain as CEO until after the play-offs, to conclude a number of outstanding matters that we are currently dealing with," he added.
"The time is right for the EFL to move in a different direction having concluded a number of commercial contracts that leave the League in a stable position."
Debbie Jevans, interim chair of the EFL said: "The EFL would like to thank Shaun for all he has delivered. The EFL is in a strong position with a growing fan base throughout the world and Shaun deserves a lot of credit for this."

Whoever takes over, I suspect within 10 years we'll have Premier League 2, and regionalised divisions below that (maybe semi-pro).
regionalised divisions has been predicted by people to be imminent since the 80s. It ain't happening. And the Prem has no interest in a PL2 either. Why would it?
Only possible major upheavals:
National League becomes a fourth division as part of the football league. Euro Super League, meaning a larger overhaul. But even that would take 10 years absolute minimum.
Bare bones.

I wouldn't mind a Euro Super League at all.
Get all the closed-shop, oligarch-funded, Sky-obsessed "big four" out of the way and into their own league where they and their hordes of plastic armchair fans can w--k on and on and on and on about whether Man U will come third or second this year or will it be Liverpool or will it be Man City, and leave the going to games in a competitive national league to the rest of us.

the sooner all professional football is under one roof the better.
the ridiculous way we split the league and the governing body into two, then merged some of the league, has led tails wagging dogs and closed shops and financial breakdowns.

Sounds good in principle Unfortunately when the big teams go, the money goes with them. Then we are truly financially screwed.

Spot on re the regional comment. Though am I right in thinking that the first trophy Rangers ever won was regional, the Third Division South?
