PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Phil Martelli has found a new gig. The former Saint Joseph's basketball head coach has accepted a job at the University of Michigan.

The Philly basketball legend announced his next chapter on Twitter Monday afternoon.

Martelli will join new head coach Juwan Howard's coaching staff as an assistant coach, although his exact role is not known at this time, according to The Athletic's Brendan Quinn.

Martelli was fired by St. Joe's in March after 24 seasons at the helm.
