DETROIT (Reuters) - Chrysler Group LLC Deputy Chief Executive Jim Press said he plans to leave by November, ending a two-year stint at the automaker that included its slide into bankruptcy, according to two people briefed on the still-confidential discussions.

Press, 62, was the only member of Chrysler's senior leadership team to remain with the company after a fast-track bankruptcy under the supervision of the U.S. Treasury.

His departure now would leave the No. 3 U.S. automaker without a sales chief or a visible top executive at a time when it is struggling to execute a turnaround and repay about $15 billion in emergency funding from the U.S. government.

The Wall Street Journal first reported Press's decision.

A former senior executive at Toyota Motor Corp (7203.T), Press joined Chrysler in 2007 shortly after it was acquired by its former owner Cerberus Capital Management LP.
