The decision came after a 5-0 home defeat to St Margaretsbury on Saturday.
It was Colney Heath’s fourth successive defeat and comes on the back of a run which has seen the club only win twice in the last 14 games in all competitions.
In a statement Magpies chairman Martin Marlborough thanked Nathan, and his wife Michelle, for their work at the club.
He said: “It is with great sadness that Colney Heath FC have parted company with Manager Micky Nathan due to recent performances and results.
