MONTREAL ALLIANCE ANNOUNCE DEPARTURE OF HEAD COACH JERMAINE SMALL

Montreal, QC – The Montreal Alliance announced today that Jermaine Small’s tenure as head coach has come to an end following the conclusion of his two-year contract.

“On behalf of the entire organization, I want to thank Jermaine for his leadership, dedication, and contributions to the Alliance over the past two seasons,” said Joel Anthony, General Manager and Co-owner of the Montreal Alliance. “Jermaine made an immediate impact on our team, helping us reach important milestones. His experience and passion have played an important role in the growth of our organization, and we are grateful for everything he has brought to the team. We wish him nothing but success in his future endeavours.”

Appointed head coach on January 27, 2025, Small led the Alliance to a then-franchise-record nine regular-season wins and its first postseason berth secured through regular-season play. He built on that success in 2026, setting a new franchise record with 10 wins and bringing his total to 19 regular-season victories, the most by a head coach in Alliance history.

As the Alliance looks ahead to the 2027 CEBL season, the organization remains focused on building on the progress made over the past two seasons.
