Mark Wright has left Chester City by 'mutual consent'.
It will be the third time manager Wright has quit.
Owner Stephen Vaughan has confirmed the news.
The last time he left was at the end of April 2007.
The former England international agreed a two year deal at the start of the season, but departs half way through the contract after a dismal campaign. Assistant Graham Barrow has also left the club.
Under Wright, crowds fell to around 1,500 with fans complaining of unattractive football and the club had not won for six games. He originally managed the club from 2002 til 2004, leaving after a spat with chairman Stephen Vaughan, and returned last February.
