David Wagner, the manager of Aaron Mooy's club Huddersfield Town, has left his post.
Wagner has exited Huddersfield with the club embroiled in a relegation battle.
The Terriers have lost eight of their last nine Premier League games and sit bottom of the table.
Wagner, who got the club promoted in 2017, has reportedly left the west Yorkshire outfit on good terms.
The German approached the club's owners over the weekend to suggest a change was needed.
š David Wagner has departed his role as Head Coach of #htafc by mutual consent.

"Iād like to begin by thanking David for all he has achieved at Huddersfield Town over the last three-and-a-half years," Huddersfield chairman Dean Hoyle said in a statement.
"Under his stewardship, weāve achieved things on the football pitch that surpass anything in modern memory, and that have gone well beyond my wildest expectations as Chairman and as a fan.
"Under Davidās management, we took this club to the highest position it has held in almost 50 years and created memories that will last forever.
"His achievements will rightly put him up there in Huddersfield Town history alongside great names like Herbert Chapman and Mick Buxton; legendary managers who changed the face of this club."
"As I had said previously, I had no intention of sacking David this season. Subsequently David ā being the great man he is ā came to us and made it clear that he needs a break from the rigours of football management.
"We discussed making that change immediately, but he also made it clear that he would give his all for the rest of this season before departing in the summer if we preferred.
"After a long discussion we all felt that David staying at the Club until the end of the season was best, but weāve kept discussions open and we all now feel that the time is right to part ways.
"I know the term āmutual consentā is often a byword for the manager being sacked in professional football, but this is a truly joint decision. David has a real, genuine love for this Club and, like me, his foremost concern in our talks has been to establish what is best for Huddersfield Town.
"I cannot thank David enough for what he has achieved. Along with his family, he will always be a friend to me and Huddersfield Town."
The German was the man who brought Mooy to England in 2016 on loan from Manchester City.
He made the Socceroo an integral part of his starting XI as the Terriers achieved a fairytale promotion into the top flight.
Mooy remained one of Wagner's key players last season as Huddersfield beat the drop.
The 47-year-old has spoken often glowingly of the Australian's talent and importance to his team.
