Matt Vitulli

Manager

Matt Vitulli was named the manager of the Joliet Generals prior to the 2019 season. 

Vitulli is in his second season as an assistant coach at Robert Morris University in Chicago. He began coaching immediately after he finished his playing career. The Bartlett, Ill. native played collegiately at Triton College and Robert Morris. But when it comes to the MCL, Vitulli is known for his time with the Northwest Indiana Oilmen as an assistant coach last season. During that season, Vitulli had a glimpse of the manager lifestyle. Former NWI Oilmen manager Adam Enright was transitioning to his new head coaching job at Missouri Valley College, and Vitulli managed the team for a number of games. 

For Vitulli, managing Northwest Indiana included the first round of the Midwest Collegiate League playoffs. The Oilmen swept the Vikings 2-0 in that series before sweeping the Hounds in the MCL Championship. Last season, Joliet finished 17-23, and just outside of the playoffs in fifth place.
