The former Germany international replaced Ray Mathias in the summer but led County to just three wins from 19 games in the Blue Square Premier League.
Hamann said: "Following a meeting with Lord Snape and myself I have tendered my resignation as manager of Stockport County.
"Having been introduced to the club by Tony Evans, I presumed that the takeover by him and his consortium would have taken place. Various promises were made to me at the time of my appointment which subsequently did not take place.
"I feel therefore unable to continue in the post."
Speaking to Sky Sports News, Hamann confirmed that Stockport's breakdown in negotiations with Evans' consortium was the reason for his departure.
"As I understood at the time the two parties were pretty close to agreeing a deal and that was the reason for me to come to Stockport in the first place," he said.
"The plans didn't materialise because the takeover didn't go through. There was still a chance in the last few weeks but Tony Evans pulling out of the deal has made my position untenable.
"As it happened the plans we had or the promises which were made didn't materialise and for that reason I didn't see myself in a position to carry on as wanted."
Nevertheless the 38-year-old is keen to make a quick return to management despite his difficult baptism with County, who currently sit two points above the Blue Square Bet Premier relegation zone.
"Some players come in and they go out and see it's not for them, but I've thoroughly enjoyed the last four months in my first managerial job," he added.
"I see now that it's made for me and I want to carry on doing it.
"It's unfortunate that I won't be carrying on there due to the circumstances, but I want to stay in football and I want to carry on managing."

Finally, sorry Didi but the wave of optimism when you joined was soon extinguished with the terrible football that we have witnessed. We have some good players, they need leadership. We are currently relegation candidates, who can save us.
What about a Jim Gannon/Ray Mathias double act?
Come and celebrate at Alty tomorrow in the Cheshire Senior Cup!...
Doesn't seem to be mentioned on your website but its a 19:45 kick off and admission had been reduced to £10 adults, £5 concessions and £2 for kids and you can sit or stand.
Jump on the 371 and get down there!
Too many draws!!!
i think its the only way forward for the mighty hatters now we should ask jim gannon to come back to the club and he will help us out of the worst season in our history not in the f a cup first round does not seem good at all
too many heavy comebacks by other teams and sat for me was the final straw 3.1 up and draw 3.3
Thanks for resigning Didi, but it wasn't for you. You go on to say that promises were made that didn't materialise but that's just a cover up, you just didn't have the know how in this League. Let's hope that the next appointment is a good one, we're long overdue.
I am not a County fan but what about Andy Kilner. Is he in the frame?
well i hope all the moaning so called county fans are happy! you are getting what you deserve! i remember the way the supporters club hounded out Mr Elwood. Our chairman during the glory years of the 90's
never mind the cheshire cup! well be playing alty in the leaque next season
.....and about time too he should have been pushed weeks ago, we should never have had a novice manager in the first place, his inexperience quickly came to the fore with his lack of tatical awareness....anyone got Jimbo's number??
Totally indifferent to the news. Probably a good move he's gone but who in their right mind would want to take up the job? Frankly this farce has gone on so long I'm incapable of caring - and I know many supporters feel the same way and have decided not to attend anymore like me. I think Hamann's statement says it all: He's clearly using the Tony Evan's event as an excuse for his own inadequacies and yet the board have still to explain why they didn't keep their promises to Did and explain why they still haven't come up with a superior alternative to what Tony Evans was offering. I'll not hold my breath waiting for a response from the board and meanwhile attendances will drift down to 2500 then sub-2000 very quickly.
It just goes to show that great players don't always make good managers.
"Plans didn't materialise....." It would be nice to have some comment on the football Didi, some explanation to the fans of why the performances of Stockport County on the pitch have been so lamentable under your management.
Gary ablett and now Dietmar Hamann. 2 managers who were given the job by people who never actually got round to owning the club. I really couldnt imagine a worse way to run a club.
