OTTAWA - Today, the Ottawa REDBLACKS announced they have relieved General Manager Marcel Desjardins of his duties.
"Marcel was the first employee hired by the REDBLACKS back in 2013" said Mark Goudie, President & CEO, Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group (OSEG).

I respect Marcel very much and thank him for his unwavering commitment to the REDBLACKS, RNation and our community."
Desjardins, the first and only GM in REDBLACKS history, was the architect behind three Grey Cup appearances - including a championship victory in 2016 - the first for the REDBLACKS since the club entered the league in the 2014 season.

In addition, Jean-Marc Edmé, who has been with the organization since 2016, will assume the Interim Assistant General Manager role.
