The Dane has departed for Toulouse after implementing a slick and eye-catching possession-based style that swept the Steelmen to a fourth-place Scottish Premiership finish and European football for the first time in four years.
Motherwell finished the season on 61 points - their fourth-highest tally since three points for a win was introduced in 1994.
To get there, they scored 59 goals (the fourth most in the division) and conceded 36 - the second fewest in the Premiership and also the least Motherwell have shipped in a top-flight season since 1932.
Their 18 clean sheets was the most of any side in the league while their nine defeats were the fewest by a Motherwell team in a top-flight season since 1959.
And goalkeeper Calum Ward set a new club record of 20 clean sheets across all competitions.
Askou's side scored seven league goals from fast breaks, the joint most in the division, and had the third-highest possession with 57.97%. Their expected goals (xG) was the fourth highest (56.09) while their expected goals against was the fifth lowest (47.17).
Askou leaves with a win ratio of 46.8% and a points per game of 1.61 with an average goals scored per game of 1.51.
