Hege Riise leaves her role as Norway coach following a difficult Women's World Cup.
Norway endured a tempestuous 2023 World Cup under the 54-year-old manager, who coached the Team GB women's football team at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
They suffered a shock 1-0 loss to co-hosts New Zealand in their opening game before Riise benched star winger Caroline Graham Hansen for their second group match, a goalless draw with Switzerland., and though she was reinstated for the final group game against the Philippines - which Norway won 6-0 - they were then outclassed in a 3-1 defeat by Japan in the last 16.
The NFF said Riise - part of the Norway team which won the 1995 Women's World Cup - will move into a new role promoting the women's game. They also said a new manager will be appointed before the inaugural Uefa Women's Nations League fixtures later this month. Norway face Austria and Portugal on 22 and 26 September respectively.
