Graham Ford has stepped down as Sri Lanka coach following the team's early exit from the Champions Trophy.
Ford was 15 months into his second stint with the team, who lost to Pakistan by three wickets in Cardiff.
It follows an inconsistent year for Sri Lanka who suffered their first ever Test loss to Bangladesh and a whitewash in South Africa.
The South African, who first coached the side from 2012 to 2014, had signed a contract until the 2019 World Cup.
The decision comes before Sri Lanka's one-day series against Zimbabwe, starting on Friday.
Sri Lanka Cricket said Ford had made an "invaluable contribution" but the decision was mutual.
