Ottis Gibson has left his role as West Indies coach by "mutual agreement", ending his four-year tenure.
Team manager Richie Richardson will take charge on an interim basis, starting with Wednesday's one-day international against Bangladesh.
West Indies won nine of 36 Tests under 45-year-old Gibson, who took up the post in February 2010.
Gibson's finest moment as West Indies coach was guiding the team to victory in the ICC World Twenty20 in 2012.
