Lawrence injured his ACL in round four of this season and will take the chance to relinquish any official role with the club and, barring a speedy recovery, likely take the season off.
Tolland managed just 20 goals in 18 games to finish eighth and Lawrence felt after two years at the helm it's time for someone with a fresh perspective.
"Hopefully someone else can freshen up some things with some new ideas," he said.
"I think the direction the club is going it they'll get someone from outside, someone that's pretty new to everyone.
"They're probably going to go after a strong leader to help turn the club around and get us toward the top of the ladder.
"They might go after a higher profile name but I'm not sure who they'll go after."
Lawrence said boosting the attacking arsenal will be an obvious focus.
"Going for a player-coach who is a good attack is one option they've got, or even someone that can look to bring in a couple of players," he said.
"Something we lacked was a couple of strikers, that's what they'll aim for."
