Leonid Slutsky will step down as CSKA Moscow coach after the Champions League match against Tottenham on Wednesday.
The 45-year-old has been in charge of the club since 2009, winning the Russian Premier League three times, including last season, as well as two Russian Cups and two Russian Super Cups.
CSKA have endured a disappointing campaign in UEFA's elite club competition but could yet finish third in Group E and qualify for the Europa League ahead of Tottenham, who they face at Wembley.
"CSKA thank Leonid Slutsky after seven years of fruitful co-operation, yielding three league titles, two Russian Cups and two Super Cups, as well as the incredible emotion that the team gave to our huge army of fans under his leadership over all these years," the club said in a statement.
"Our doors are always open to you, Leonid!"
