According to the club, it was the right time to make the change.
"[He] made a significant contribution to the club, overseeing some memorable results and playing a key role in developing our club infrastructure, identity and playing squad," the club added.
"However, we now believe it is an appropriate time to make a change. Everyone involved with the club would like to express their sincere thanks to Ralph for all of his efforts, as well as the unwavering commitment he has shown throughout his time as manager."
First Team Lead Coach Rubén Sellés will take charge of the side on an interim basis, with the club to announce a permanent replacement in due course.
