Kidderminster Harriers manager Adam Murray is leaving the newly-promoted club just three days after guiding them back to the National League.
Harriers said a club in the English Football League had triggered a release clause in the 44-year-old's contract and the former AFC Fylde boss was keen to move.
Murray was in his first full season at Aggborough and steered Harriers into the National League North play-offs after a run of six straight wins to end the regular season.
After beating Macclesfield Town in their semi-final tie, Harriers then saw off South Shields in the final on Saturday 2-0 to return to the National League for the second time in four seasons.
In a statement, Harriers acknowledged the timing of Murray's departure "would come as a disappointment to fans following Saturday's promotion".
Chairman Richard Lane added: "Adam has been very open and honest with me since the weekend.
"While he was a year into a two-year contract and a project with us here, I fully respect that, given the overall financial package on offer, he feels it is an opportunity for him and his family that he cannot turn down.
"While the timing is unfortunate following such a fantastic end to the season, I am sure we all wish Adam nothing but the best for his future.
"Our focus now is on moving quickly with a managerial appointment that will lead us into a new chapter in our history after promotion."
