There had been confusion last month when reports emerged that the pair had left the Munster club, however, despite rumours of unrest, the pair led the side to a win over Longford that weekend.
However, less than a fortnight later, the pair have now left their respective posts, the club confirmed.
"Waterford FC, Kevin Sheedy and Mike Newell have parted company by mutual consent," the statement said.
"We wish to thank both Kevin and Mike for their service to the Club during these difficult times and wish them both the very best for the future."
