Former star quarterback Anthony Calvillo named Alouettes receivers coach

MONTREAL - Anthony Calvillo will make his CFL coaching debut as the Montreal Alouettes receivers' coach.

The CFL club made the announcement via Twitter on Thursday.

Pro football's all-time passing leader was named an assistant coach with the Alouettes in December, but at that time the club said his official position wouldn't be determined until after Montreal hired an offensive co-ordinator.

Turk Schonert was eventually named Montreal's offensive co-ordinator and will also serve as the club's quarterback coach.

Calvillo retired in January 2014 after a concussion limited him to just seven games in 2013.

Calvillo spent 16 of his 20 CFL seasons with Montreal, leading the Alouettes to three Grey Cup titles while being named the league's outstanding player three times.
