Herold came from Florida to run McFadden's campaign in September. He will now become a senior adviser to the campaign, McFadden spokesman Tom Erickson said.
"Brad is still a member of the McFadden for Senate team. Our plan has always been to retool the campaign after becoming our party's nominee," Erickson said.
The McFadden shake-up was first reported by the Morning Take e-newsletter.
Erickson said Herold will advise McFadden in his quest to oust Democratic U.S. Sen. Al Franken.
"Brad will still be involved in his new position as a senior adviser to the campaign. We look forward to making an announcement about our new campaign manager in the coming days," he said.
