Leicester have confirmed that backs coach Paul Burke has left the club.
The former Ireland fly-half signed for the club as a player in 2006 and later joined the backroom team as kicking specialist and assistant backs coach.
He became backs coach earlier this year following Matt O'Connor's departure to Leinster.
Leicester have endured a tough start to the season, losing three of their six Aviva Premiership games and being beaten by European Champions Cup opponents Scarlets last weekend.
Tigers executive chairman Peter Tom told the club's website: "Paul has been a good servant to the club and was very much liked by players and staff, first as an experienced member of the squad and then as part of the coaching team, initially under Heyneke Meyer and then Richard Cockerill.
"We are grateful for Paul's hard work on behalf of the club over the last eight-and-a-half years, and we wish him well for the future."
The Tigers are next in action in the LV=Cup on November 9 at Welford Road
