Melbourne CEO Paul Guerra has sensationally parted ways with the club less than a year after taking the role.
Guerra was appointed into the role exactly a year ago, but didn’t start until September.
However, he has lasted just seven months with 7NEWS reporter Xander McGuire revealing the club and Guerra have parted ways.

The reasons for the decision haven’t been made clear yet, but president Steve Smith is expected to address the situation on Tuesday.
McGuire revealed that former West Coast, Geelong and Carlton CEO Brian Cook is expected to be appointed interim CEO.
Guerra was somewhat of a leftfield selection after previously being CEO at the Victoria Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
He guided the club through a busy off-season that saw Steven King appointed as coach, as well as the departure of superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
Melbourne have been one of the stories of the season so far, surging to fourth place on the ladder with a 5-2 record under the rookie coach.
They have been super impressive with a new attacking brand that has seen them knock off premiership fancies Brisbane and Gold Coast.
