Former T-Mobile CEO John Legere resigned from the company’s board Friday, more than a month earlier than expected. Legere previously planned to serve on the board until his current term expired on June 4.

Legere will “pursue other options,” according to a filing with the SEC. His departure was not related to any disagreement with management or the board.

“It has been a privilege and honor to have led T-Mobile as CEO for the past seven and a half years and served on the Board of Directors,” Legere said in a statement. “And although I will be leaving the Board just a few weeks earlier than planned, be assured that I remain T-Mobile’s #1 fan!”

Legere officially stepped down as CEO earlier this month after T-Mobile finalized its merger with Sprint. The “New T-Mobile” will be led by former T-Mobile COO and president Mike Sievert, who took over ahead of schedule.

It’s unclear what’s next for Legere. He was rumored to be in discussions to take the WeWork CEO job late last year but later denied it.

T-Mobile grew dramatically under Legere’s leadership as the company branded itself as the “Uncarrier” and launched an unlimited wireless plan and other programs that other carriers later adopted.

Legere “changed what it means to be a CEO,” Sievert said in a statement earlier this month. “Everything that T-Mobile has accomplished is the result of his vision for what a different kind of wireless provider could be.”

T-Mobile and Sprint last month revealed a revamped leadership structure for the New T-Mobile.

The Bellevue, Wash.-based company closed 80% of its retail stores on March 17 due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The carrier is giving all customers (who already have plans with data) two months of unlimited data, excluding roaming. It will also provide free international calling for all customers to Level 3 impacted countries.
