Manly are set for their sixth chief executive in eight years after Stephen Humphreys left his role with immediate effect.
The Sea Eagles confirmed Humphrey's exit on Friday, after his future was a point of discussion at a club board meeting on Thursday night.
Humphreys, who is said to be sick with COVID at the moment, has not made any comment.
Manly's CEO office has been one of the greatest revolving doors of rugby league in recent years.
David Perry held the position of general manager from 2011 to 2014, before being ousted as part of an ownership battle at the NRL club.
He was replaced by Joe Kelly, who stepped down amidst the match-fixing scandal involving the club which was ultimately cleared.
A former principal in Tim Cleary then lasted just five months in the role before losing out in a power struggle to Bob Fulton, before former Cronulla boss Lyall Gorman took charge.
Gorman was later moved onto another role before Humphreys took charge at the end of the 2019 season, in what was meant to be a new dawn for the club.
Instead, they are now on the look out for another replacement in the same week they celebrate the opening of their Centre of Excellence and the Bob Fulton Stand.
