Claude LeRoy has stepped down from his role as the coach of DR Congo.
The 65-year-old took charge of the Leopards for a second time in September 2011.
"I told my players that I would stop after two years," said Le Roy.
"With the team and the federation we've had some terrific moments. I haven't made a decision regarding the next continent I'll work in."
His last game in charge was a goalless draw at home to Cameroon in a 2014 World Cup qualifier on Sunday.
DR Congo will be out of the race to Brazil if, as expected, the Indomitable Lions are awarded three points after Togo admitted using an ineligible player earlier this month.
Togo have said they will not appeal against a Fifa disciplinary case against them for using Alaixys Romao in a 2-0 win over Cameroon when he should have been suspended.
It is likely Cameroon will now be awarded a 3-0 win that would take them to the top of Group I and mean DR Congo cannot overhaul them even if they win their final qualifier away to Togo in September.
He helped the country qualify for the 2013 African Cup of Nations in South Africa but they failed to advance from the group stages despite not losing a game.
It was the seventh time that LeRoy had taken a team to the Nations Cup finals after success with Cameroon, Senegal and Ghana.
