Sir Clive Woodward has left the Leicester Tigers board after not putting himself up for re-election at the club's AGM.
The former centre cited time difficulties as his reasons behind the decision and he has not been replaced.
Woodward has been focusing on increased media commitments recently and told the BBC: "I'll be stepping down because I just don't get here enough.
I've been director here for the last few years but I don't get to as many games as I'd like to.
"Leicester has always been my club and will always be my club and I'll just be working on other projects to try and help."
Speaking at the meeting at Welford Road, chairman Peter Tom praised the club's supporters and sponsors after impressive support and financial records, which included a profit of £396,000 in the accounts for 2012/13.
He also believed the club's playing and coaching staff had done tremendously well to land a 10th English title at Twickenham last May.
"The coaching staff did a remarkable job in reaching the final and winning the Aviva Premiership with all the challenges thrown at them over a long season," he said.
"The final also provided for Geordan Murphy to share in his eighth league title in his 16th and final season as a Tigers player. His record of achievement is a remarkable one and we are delighted he is remaining at the club as part of the coaching team.
"Richard Cockerill drives a strong work ethic on the playing side of the club, and it is an ethos shared by everyone at the Tigers."
