Marcus Trescothick may take over on an interim basis after the Australian was halfway through his four-year deal.
As England Men's white-ball brain coach, Matthew Mott has taken a leave of absence with no notice.
Mott was halfway through a four-year deal, during which time he presided over defeat at the 2022 T20 World Cup as well as the team's failure to support that name this year or the 50-over crown they won in 2019 at the 2023 edition, where they won just three of their nine games.
He will be replaced by assistant coach Marcus Trescothick on an interval schedule for the rest of the house summers, which includes three T20Is and five Wickets against Australia in September.
On Sunday, Mott met with Rob Key, ECB managing director of England people's cricket, to measure his view on the last nine months as part of a critique into the decline in player's limited-overs shows.
" I am exceedingly glad to have coached the England Men's team, it has been an honour", Mott said. " We have put anything into trying to achieve success over the past two decades, and I am very proud of the personality and interest that the team has displayed during that time, including a beautiful T20 World Cup victory in 2022.
" I would like to thank the players, management, and everyone at the ECB for their commitment, support, and hard work during my time. I leave with many great friendships and incredible memories. Finally, I would like to thank the England fans, who have always backed us and given us fantastic support wherever we have travelled around the world."
Appointed in May 2022, Mott also led England to white-ball series victories against Australia, Bangladesh, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand and Pakistan. But it appears that England's most recent campaign, where they were knocked out of the T20 World Cup in the semi-finals by eventual winners India, was pivotal to the decision.
Key said the search for a full-time replacement would begin immediately. He believed the rapport between Trescothick and white-ball captain Jos Buttler" will help us maintain continuity and stability".
" On behalf of everyone connected to England cricket and me personally, I would like to thank Matthew for all he has done for the team since his appointment," Key said". He can be proud of his achievements as he leaves his post as one of only three coaches who have won a Men's World Cup with England.
I now believe the team needs a new direction in order to face the difficulties that lie ahead after three World Cup runs in a row. This decision was not made lightly, but I believe it is the right time for the team's future success. It is crucial that we make sure the team is focused and prepared as our focus shifts to the Champions Trophy in the first half of the year and the following white-ball cycle.
Trescothick, added:" England cricket is in a strong position, and the potential is huge, given the quality we have available. It's about utilizing that potential and expanding the work that Matthew Mott and the other members of the set-up have already begun. I'm excited about how the challenge will affect our play styles.
Eoin Morgan, England's former World Cup-winning captain who now works as a commentator, recently dismissed reports that he could replace Mott as nothing more than" speculation".
Other names such as Andrew Flintoff, currently in his first coaching role with Northern Superchargers in the men's Hundred, Mike Hussey, who was part of the coaching staff for the successful 2022 T20 World Cup campaign, and Kumar Sangakkara have also been touted for the role. However, it is understood no prospective successors to Mott have been sounded out at this juncture.
