Gilmore also supervised the club's arguable rebrand from Montreal Impact to Club de Foot Montreal.

Montreal has because been capable of return to their home stadium after Canada eased global border regulations.
“The ultimate 18 months have been very challenging on both the pandemic front and the club front, and very hard on a private stage for me and my family," Gilmore stated in a club statement.
"Ultimately, these cumulative factors led to my decision to go away the organisation. I’m grateful for my time with CF Montréal and thank the proprietors, the board and the team for the opportunity to work with them.”
The group currently sits in tenth area on the Eastern Conference desk, and is ready finish the 2021 Major League Soccer season on November 7 against Orlando City after failing to qualify for the playoffs.
