Whitehaven coach Steve Deakin has resigned from his post just six days before the start of the new Championship season.
The former Catalans Dragons reserve boss succeeded Australian Dave Woods in September but has been forced to quit for family reasons.
"This comes at a difficult time just a week before the first game of the season," said a Whitehaven spokesman.
"We would like to thank Deaks for the outstanding level of commitment he has given pre-season. The club has started looking for a successor."
