CFL removes Boivin from president's role with Montreal Alouettes

MONTREAL — The Canadian Football League has announced Patrick Boivin is no longer the president/chief executive officer of the Montreal Alouettes.

The CFL purchased the club from the Wetenhall family last May and continues to try to find a new owner.

David Goldstein, the league's chief operating officer, will take Boivin's old role on an interim basis.

The Alouettes also have not named a general manager after interim GM Joe Mack finished his deal at the conclusion of the 2019 season.

The Alouettes gave head coach Khari Jones a three-year contract extension following a season in which Montreal made the playoffs for the first time since 2014.

Montreal lost in the East semifinal against the Edmonton Eskimos after finishing the regular season with a 10-8 record.
