TORONTO - Just days after weeks after winning the world title, figure skating star Patrick Chan is leaving his coach.

Chan made the announcement in a Skate Canada release that said he had "concluded'' his coaching relationship with Christy Krall.

The statement says the split has been made "with sincere best wishes to one another for the future."

Chan will continue to work with Kathy Johnson, another of his existing coaches.

Krall is based in Colorado Springs and helped coach Chan to world titles in 2011 and 2012.

The statement says Chan will maintain his current training base in Colorado Springs, with more frequent visits to his home in Toronto.
