Anthony Calvillo is back with the Montreal Alouettes.
The CFL club named Calvillo, pro football's all-time passing leader, as an offensive coach.
Alouettes head coach Tom Higgins said Calvillo's duties will be clarified once an offensive co-ordinator is hired.
The appointment is hardly surprising, as the 42-year-old had said when he retired following the 2013 season he wanted to get into coaching after taking a break from the game.
Calvillo played 20 seasons in the CFL, the last 16 with Montreal, and led the Alouettes to eight Grey Cup appearances, winning three.
The three-time league MVP retired with 79,816 career passing yards and is the Grey Cup's most prolific passer with 2,470 all-time yards.
