 MIAMI (AP) - Jacques Martin is no longer the Florida Panthers' coach. His status as general manager is still up in the air.
Martin has filled both roles since the 2006-07 season. He will leave the bench after three years and has been offered the chance to concentrate on his front office duties, the team announced Friday.
"Over the past few days both Jacques and I have spent significant time together discussing what is in the best interest of this franchise," team owner Alan Cohen said in a statement. "It is now up to Jacques to decide if he wants to remain with the club as our general manager, where he would continue to play a vital role in helping to ensure the future success of our organization."
