Torquay United have dispensed with the services of director of football Colin Lee after Mervyn Benney's appointment as the club's new chairman.
Benney has taken on the role of the Gulls following their relegation to the Conference after former chairman Mike Bateson's decision to resign.
Benney said: "The board of directors have taken the difficult decision to make Colin Lee redundant.
"We're going to be working on a tight budget this year and a director of football is a luxury we can't afford.
"We'll be putting the majority of our budget into the playing side for next season.
"We're hoping to announce a head coach-player coach within the next couple of days. Meetings will be ongoing over the forthcoming week and, as and when developments occur, we'll keep you posted."
