Mansfield Town have "reluctantly accepted" the resignations of manager Steve Evans and his assistant Paul Raynor.
Evans could move straight into another job as Sky sources understand Peterborough want to speak to the 55-year-old about becoming manager of the League One club after they sacked Grant McCann on Sunday.
The Scot departs Mansfield with the club fifth in League Two, two points off automatic promotion with 16 wins and 12 draws from their 34 games.
Academy manager John Dempster will take temporary charge ahead of Saturday's game at Stevenage.
Stags chairman John Radford said: "While I am disappointed by their decision, there are no individuals bigger than Mansfield Town Football Club and the process of appointing a new management team which can lead the club to League One is already underway.
"Mansfield Town has progressed year-upon-year in recent seasons both on and off the field.
"The club has a fantastic, encouraging and vociferous fanbase, a loyal, patient and supportive board of directors and a dedicated and hard-working team of behind-the-scenes staff.
"With this in mind, along with our current healthy standing in Sky Bet League Two, the vacant post of manager at One Call Stadium is surely one of the most attractive in the English Football League.
"Our ambitions of promotion this season remain as fervent and steadfast as ever and we will leave no stone unturned in our process of appointing the right manager to lead our talented squad of players."
