Hendry was replaced by Simon Grayson just before the game against Scunthorpe on November 13, with the Seasiders brushing aside any notion of a crisis to hammer the Iron 5-2.

Former Scotland captain Hendry, who ironically had been lined up to replace Brian Laws at Glanford Park before a boardroom coup saw Laws reinstated, had been in charge of the Seasiders since June 2004.

A severement package has finally been agreed, which sees Hendry and coach Ian Miller leave the Lancashire club.

Seasiders chairman Karl Oyston said: "I would like to thank Colin for all his hard work.

"I am sure he has taken many positives from his time at the club and I am sure he won't be out of the game too long."

Hendry said: "It has been a great learning curve, and I would like to thank Blackpool FC for the opportunity it has given me.

"It certainly has whetted my appetite for management and I would like to wish the players and supporters every success in the future."
