Trestman was named the CFL’s coach of the year at a luncheon Friday.
Trestman secured the honour ahead of Marcel Bellefeuille of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Ken Miller of the Saskatchewan Roughriders in voting conducted by the Football Reporters of Canada.
Trestman, a finalist for the award last year, guided Montreal to a CFL-best 15-3 record. The Alouettes capped their season with a thrilling 28-27 win over Saskatchewan in the Grey Cup.
Montreal was 9-0 at home under Trestman and scored over 600 points for the second straight year.
Trestman has led Montreal to a 26-10-0 regular-season record during his two seasons with the CFL club. The Alouettes also reached the 2009 Grey Cup final before losing to the Calgary Stampeders.
