Wayne Lisy has stepped down from his role as manager of the Isle of Man women's national representative football team.
The side has enjoyed a successful few years under his guidance, claiming silver and bronze Island Games medals in Orkney and Guernsey respectively, as well as winning the inaugural Cherry Godfrey Cup in 2024.
They also finished as runners-up in this year's edition of the latter tournament in Guernsey.
In a statement announcing his departure, the Isle of Man FA said: 'All at the Isle of Man Football Association would like to thank Wayne Lisy for his work and effort as the Isle of Man women’s national team manager in recent seasons.
'Since his appointment, the team has achieved some remarkable successes.
'Thank you Wayne for everything you have done for women's football in the Isle of Man. We sincerely hope that you will continue to be involved in and support the women's game in the years ahead.'
IoMFA representative team committee chair Shaun Gritton paid tribute to Lisy, adding: 'I would like to personally thank Wayne for the incredible time, passion and commitment he has dedicated to managing the Isle of Man women's national team since taking on the role in late 2021.
'Wayne played a key role in securing our excellent sponsorship partnership with the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company, a relationship that has provided invaluable support to the women's game.
'Beyond the results, Wayne has instilled a culture and set of values that are evident both on and off the pitch.
'He has always shown faith in young players and has never been afraid to give them the opportunity to represent their island, helping to develop the next generation of talent.
'I had hoped that Wayne would continue to help lead us on our journey towards our home Island Games in 2029, as I genuinely believe we are on the right path to achieving that elusive gold medal.'
