The news was announced by the federation this evening, with indications that his successor will be found via a public recruitment process in the New Year.
Cycling Ireland chief executive Matt McKerrow thanks Nugent for his long years of service in the jobs of head coach and technical director; a full-time job for him for 15 years.

Nugent said he was proud of his time in the job but he felt the time had come to move on for new challenges.
“I’ve enjoyed immensely being part of a team that achieved new levels of success year on year and finishing with a large number of athletes qualified to represent Cycling Ireland in the Tokyo Games this summer has been very rewarding,” he said.
“I am proud of the work we have done and the contribution I’ve made, laying strong foundations for the future. I look forward to the continued success that will no doubt follow on for Irish cycling.”
