The Manly Sea Eagles have confirmed Geoff Toovey won't be in charge of the team next season.
Penrith assistant coach Trent Barrett is set to sign on a three-year deal starting next season, ending Toovey's four-year reign.
"Geoff has been an influential figure within the Sea Eagles organisation for almost three decades. His contribution on and off the field is unprecedented, and he will always be one of the club's favourite sons," CEO Joe Kelly said in a statement.
Manly have made the NRL finals 11 seasons in a row and downed the Warriors at Mt Smart Stadium at the weekend to keep hopes of a 12th straight post-season alive.
"Geoff has been an integral part of the club since first playing in our junior ranks over 30 years ago," Chairman Scott Penn said.
"Geoff is a club legend having played 286 first grade games for the Sea Eagles including three grand finals from 1995-97, captaining the team to the 1996 premiership and numerous representative appearances.
"We've all had the pleasure of watching his career evolve from being one of the toughest competitors on the field to coaching our first grade team in recent years.
"Geoff is a Life Member of the Sea Eagles and his lifelong commitment to the club is without question.
A number of other Sea Eagles are expected to leave at the end of this end after being told they didn't feature in the club's plans for 2016.
