Sir Clive Woodward is poised to leave his post as technical support director at Southampton, BBC Sport understands.
The 50-year-old moved into football last July after previously working in rugby union, where he led England to the World Cup in 2003.
But Woodward has found himself increasingly marginalised at St Mary's after chairman Rupert Lowe's departure.
An announcement from Saints is expected imminently, freeing up Woodward to start a sporting consultancy business.
Woodward missed out on a return to rugby earlier this month, when the Rugby Football Union overlooked him for the key elite director of rugby role in favour of Rob Andrew.
Personally I don't really understand why he went to Southampton in the first place, he was never going to make it as a football manager.
