The Football Association have confirmed that Adrian Bevington is to leave the organisation.
The 43-year-old has been employed by the FA since 1997 and he has held various roles within the governing body.
However, it has now been revealed that the current managing director of Club England will depart at the end of this month.
"It has been a privilege to work for the FA, but after almost two decades I want a new challenge," Bevington told the FA's official website.
"I have been considering my departure for some time and discussed this with chairman Greg Dyke recently. I am grateful to Greg and the FA board for their support over the years and in agreeing to my departure at the end of the month.
"The FA has provided me with tremendous experience and I look forward to drawing on this in the future. While it is a disappointment to leave without England winning a major trophy, I am convinced the foundations for success are now in place."
There is yet to be any official word from the FA as to who will replace Bevington.
