Saturday's five-nil defeat in Dublin against rivals Shelbourne was his last outing as Youths supremo in a campaign that has seen his squad decimated with injuries.
So many times this season, it has been a case of 'what if' for this great side, as games were often dominated without the killer touch in the final third.
Speaking to Beat Sport following today's announcement, Quinn wanted to highlight his thanks for the team and supporters during his time in charge.
"I'd like to thank everyone for all the support and effort over the last four years with Wexford Youths," he said.
"There have been a lot of highs and lows, but we created some great memories and made some great friendships.
"I wish the club the best in the future and will always be a Youths supporter."
Following the news, messages of good wishes have flooded through the club's social channels, wishing the popular figure the best in his career.
Sorry to see him go all the best Steve thank you for your time and effort you put into the team especially Michaela

For Rianna Jarrett and co, the focus must immediately shift to Saturday, 17 June, with an Avenir Sports All Island Cup fixture against Glentoran in Belfast.
A side that has eyes firmly on improving results and the possibility of domestic silverware is still a goal for 2023.
