He continued to serve under Ross following the manager’s appointment last November but was made surplus to requirements following the arrival of Craig Samson in the summer.
Samson, who has not yet been officially unveiled at Easter Road, previously coached under Ross at Sunderland and was operating as goalkeeping coach of League One club Rochdale last season.
A club statement read: “Everyone at Easter Road would like to wish Alan all the best for the future and thank him for his efforts.”
