Sergio Conceiçao has left Al-Ittihad by mutual consent after a disappointing season, the Jeddah club said in a statement on Monday.
Al-Ittihad finished fifth in the Saudi Pro League, more than 30 points adrift of champions Al-Nassr.
Appointed in October to replace Laurent Blanc, the 51-year-old inherited a side sitting third. The team had taken nine points from 12.
Across a turbulent campaign he lost key figures, with N'Golo Kanté joining Fenerbahçe during the winter and Karim Benzema signing for Al-Hilal. The holders fell well short of the title race.
In Asia, Al-Ittihad exited in the Asian Champions League quarter-finals, beaten 1-0 by eventual finalists Machida.
