Michel Therrien announces that it's over for him at TVA Sports: retirement time has come for the former head coach of the Montreal Canadiens
Michel Therrien announced his retirement on the air of 'Les Amateurs du sport', on 98.5 FM.
"I decided.. I had it in my head for some time.. I am retiring.
I think I've reached that point in my life.
I had a good conversation this week with Louis-Philippe Neveu at TVA, who treated me very well during those three wonderful years.
I had been thinking about it for a few months, and then when you feel that you need to move on to another stage, you have to do it."

Yes, a well-deserved retirement for Michel Therrien!
At 61 years old, Therrien is officially hanging up his tie as well as his microphone.
Therrien mentioned that he wants to dedicate his time to his wife and family, and that is so 100% understandable.
Let's recall, of course, that he was head coach of the Montreal Canadiens from 2000 to 2003 as well as from 2012 to 2017.
