New Zealand coach Allan Bunting has stepped down following the nation's failed title defence at the Women's Rugby World Cup.
The six-times world champions were knocked out of the semi-finals by Canada in a major shock in England, their earliest exit since the 2014 tournament in France.
New Zealand Rugby said Bunting had declined to reapply for the position and would now seek a replacement.
Bunting said he looked forward to new opportunities in high performance sport.
