Russell Slade will leave his post as Cardiff manager this summer to take up a new role as the club's head of football.
City's failure to make the Championship play-offs prompted a restructuring of the first-team coaching staff, and Slade will no longer be responsible for the day-to-day running of the team.
A club statement did not make clear if a direct replacement for Slade is being sought, or go into further details about the new set-up, but said "appointing Russell in this new position will ensure that all football decisions remain in trusted and experienced hands."
Slade left Leyton Orient to become Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's successor in October 2014 and led the club to an 11th-placed finish that season.
Cardiff go into this weekend's final game against Birmingham in seventh, seven points behind sixth-placed Sheffield Wednesday.
Slade said: "I feel that we've made progress on and off the field, achieving stability and giving the club solid ground on which to move forward.
"I'm therefore very pleased to accept the new position of head of football, which allows me to play my part in our future."
Owner Vincent Tan said: "I'd like to thank Russell for his efforts since his appointment here in October 2014.
"Since then, we have seen stabilisation and progression, both on and off the field. Crucially, he is a man who I have been able to trust.
"Russell's contribution has been significant, and I'm pleased that he's accepted this new position. He will help us as we look towards the future and begin shaping our squad for the new season. I also feel that he can help us create additional synergy between Cardiff City and our sister clubs."
