MONTREAL — The Montreal Alouettes are expected to name their new general manager at a news conference on Wednesday afternoon.

In a release Tuesday morning, the CFL team said it will make a “major announcement” at a downtown hotel.

Reports have said assistant head coach and special teams coach Kavis Reed is a leading candidate for the job.

The Alouettes fired former GM Jim Popp late in the season.
