John Kelly, who has been President Donald Trump’s chief of staff since last July, will be leaving the White House by the end of the year, the president said Saturday.

“John Kelly will be leaving toward the end of the year,” Trump told reporters on Saturday as he left for the 119th Army-Navy Football game in Philadelphia, describing him as “a great guy.”

Trump said he would be announcing Kelly’s replacement in the next few days, but sources close to the president told BuzzFeed News they expect Trump to select Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff, Nick Ayers.

The abrupt announcement of Kelly’s departure came a day after widespread reports that the chief of staff was on his way out amid a frosty relationship with the president.
