Corey took charge of his native county in late 2022, succeeding Seamus ‘Banty’ McEnaney in the role having previously served as his selector.
Monaghan reached the All-Ireland semi-final under his watch last year, but were defeated by eventual champions Dublin.
This year, they bowed out in the All-Ireland preliminary quarter-finals to Galway, having previously suffered Division 1 league relegation.
The Farney were knocked out of the Ulster championship by Cavan in the preliminary round, while they beat Meath, drew with Louth and lost to Kerry in the All-Ireland group stages.
The search now begins for Corey’s successor.
