Nissan Motor's COO Ashwani Gupta will leave the Japanese carmaker later this month to pursue other opportunities after helping to steer a turnaround plan aimed at streamlining operations, the company said on Friday.

The carmaker said last month the former long-time Renault executive would step down from the board of directors on June 27 when his term expired, casting doubt on his future as he had been seen as a front-runner to be the next CEO.

Allies of Gupta pressed the board in 2020 to promote him to the role of co-CEO, hoping he would push forward Nissan's turnaround and boost its alliance with Renault and Mitsubishi Motors, but the promotion did not materialise. Gupta had clashed with Nissan CEO Makoto Uchida over Uchida's desire to close the negotiations with Renault quickly, with Gupta urging more caution over terms of the deal, people with knowledge of the talks have told Reuters.
