Tony Pulis has left Stoke after seven years at the club.
The 55-year-old parted company with the Potters after a meeting with chairman Peter Coates on Tuesday morning.
Pulis first took the Britannia job in 2002 and despite spending a season at Plymouth Argyle in 2005, he returned to the club in June 2006.
The Welshman got Stoke promoted to the Premier League for the first time in just the second season of his second spell.
Pulis has since overseen five top-flight campaigns with a best finish of 11th in 2009-10.
He also took Stoke to the FA Cup final in 2011 in which they lost to Manchester City 0-1.
The following year they enjoyed a Europa League campaign, which was finally ended in the knockout stages by La Liga giants, Valencia.
But Pulis came under fire this season from fans who have become disillusioned with the club’s style of play.
Stoke flirted with relegation after winning just one league game in 14, following a Boxing Day victory against Liverpoool.
The Potters rallied in April to register wins against QPR and Norwich and ended the season in 13th — six points clear of the drop zone.
