Donald J. Trump has fired controversial campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, a move that comes as the Republican nominee to face allegations he led to the current challenges in the general election.
Mr. Lewandowski could not immediately be reached for comment about his departure, which was announced by the campaign.
"The Donald J. Trump Presidential Campaign, which has set a historic record in the Republican Party has received nearly 14 million people, has announced that Corey Lewandowski will no longer work with the campaign," campaign spokesman, Hope Hicks, said in a statement. "This campaign Corey thanked for their hard work and dedication and we wish him the best in the future."
With the Republican National Convention looming next month, Mr. Trump faces the task of expanding the team to include people with experience of previous presidential campaigns. Trump also has turned his attention to fund-raising for the first time, a task to which Mr. Lewandowski has assumed oversight and one that has been slowly for the campaign. This campaign has aired no ads in the general election and no "super PAC" which received a clear public blessing of Mr. Trump and his main adviser.
The loss of Mr. Lewandowski was intended as part of a larger shift toward the final sprint of the race, according to the people briefed on the matter.
Mr Trump has faced growing concerns of allies and donors, as well as her children, about the next phase of the campaign. This is a step that could convince the wider donor and the Republic that he can adjust the direction of the November election strategy.

The campaign manager is seen as having a hostile relationship with many members of the national press corps that covers Mr. Trump, and many officials in the Republican National Committee has strained relations with him.

Mr. Lewandowski said to have rejected the motion that would increase the number of staff members, at times blocking Mr Manafort of making employees or slow their destruction.
But people told about the departure of Mr. Lewandowski said that things went well beyond any particular episode or a particular relationship.

One person stressed that the move has been in the works for weeks, especially since it became clear that Mr. Trump would be a candidate. People add saying that the campaign is now focusing on bringing the parties together, including recruiting new staff members and adjust to the race against Hillary Clinton. And already there is a desire for a few weeks to make changes ahead of the Republican National Convention, July 18 to 21 in Cleveland.
Mr. Lewandowski, 42, a resident of New Hampshire with deep ties to the state, has made himself a delegate to the convention last month. He was chief delegate to the state convention.
No one in the campaign was given advance warning of the termination of Mr. Lewandowski, who on a daily conference call 8:30 the campaign on Monday, according to people briefed on the developments.
On Twitter, some members of the campaign staff departures news rejoice Mr. Lewandowski.
