Tony Vitello

Anthony Gregory Vitello (born October 9, 1978) is an American professional baseball manager who is the manager for the San Francisco Giants of Major League Baseball (MLB). Vitello previously coached at the college level with the Tennessee Volunteers, who made five NCAA regionals (2019, 2021–2024), four NCAA super regionals (2021–2024), and three College World Series appearances (2021, 2023, 2024), winning the College World Series in 2024 over Texas A&M for the Volunteers’ first-ever national title. In 2025, Vitello left Tennessee to become the manager of the Giants, becoming the first college head coach to immediately take on the role of major-league manager when moving to the professional level.
