Danny Webb has resigned as first-team manager of Leyton Orient with the club announcing they had accepted his decision.
Webb became the 10th man to take charge of Orient in two and a half years when he was appointed in January.
SSNHQ revealed the decision early on Thursday morning and the club later confirmed they had agreed to him stepping down with immediate effect. It was also announced that goalkeeper coach Martin Brennan would also leave.
The club also confirmed that Omer Riza would take over duties of first team manager until the end of the season with his first game in charge being Saturday's home Sky Bet League Two game against Wycombe Wanderers.
A Leyton Orient statement read: "He's very determined to make sure that the team finishes the season strong and he's looking forward for the challenge."
SSNHQ understands that Webb texted all his players on Wednesday night to tell them he was leaving and that "he couldn't take it any more".
It is also understood that Webb found it increasingly difficult to work with the club's Italian owner Francesco Becchetti and was frustrated by meddling in team affairs.
Webb feels he was placed in an impossible position after becoming the club's fourth manager of the season in January.
Orient are facing the prospect of dropping out of the Football League for the first time in their 112-year history and currently sit bottom of League Two, seven points from safety with seven games left to play.
They have lost 25 league games and have had four managers this season - Andy Hessenthaler, Alberto Cavasin, Andy Edwards and Webb.
Orient faced going out of business 10 days ago before owner Francesco Becchetti was given until June 12 by the High Court to clear their debts.
In July 2014, lifelong fan and promoter Barry Hearn sold the club for £4m to Italian businessman Becchetti two months after they lost the League One play off final to Rotherham United on penalties.
Waste disposal businessman Becchetti had big plans for the club. He was described by one UK newspaper as "one of the richest men in Italy" but his time in charge has been characterised by controversies, fan protests, managerial changes and defeats on the pitch.
