Upon retiring from an 8-year CFL playing career, in 2006 he joined the Bergamo Lions of the Italian Football League as offensive line coach. In 2008, he rejoined Bergamo as the Lions’ head coach and offensive coordinator. Chahine has also coached at the CIS level with the University of Toronto in 2009.
