The 45 year old has a colourful past but <strong>Gabriel Gervais<\/strong>, CEO and President for CF Montr\u00e9al decided that Grande was the right man for the job and went ahead and signed him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"social-media-backlash-over-grande-signing\"><strong>Social Media Backlash Over Grande Signing&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.cfmontreal.com\">CF Montr\u00e9al<\/a> announced on Jan 10 that Grande would be joining the franchise to take up the U23 coach role. The announcement caused an immediate backlash on social media from fans and the political circle who slammed CF Montr\u00e9al for associating with Grande.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Soccer : le CF Montr\u00e9al pr\u00e9sente ses excuses pour la nomination de Sandro Grande\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uNBTUdrrL2M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main reasons for <strong>the backlash is due to a tweet that Grande posted in 2012<\/strong>. The tweet was made on the night of the Quebec election shooting in 2012, where Parti Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois had gathered along with their head Pauline Marois.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shooter had tried to get Pauline Marois but missed and instead killed technician Denis Blanchette while causing a serious injury to another technician David Courage.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grande tweeted after the shooting<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>The only mistake the shooter made last night was to miss his target!!!
