Roumel Returns For 2025 Season
GUELPH - The Guelph Royals Baseball Club is excited to announce today that 2024 IBL Manager of the Year, Dino Roumel, will return as the team's field manager for the 2025 season.
Roumel, 58, will enter his fourth season of his second stint as the Royals manager when the team takes to the field on May 16th in London for their season opener against the Majors.
The two-time IBL champion with the Guelph Royals (2003-'04) said he is ecstatic to return to the Royal City this summer.
"I'm so excited to be back with the Royals for the 2025 season. Unfinished business is such an overused motto and while it is not something I want to use as motivation to come back, the drive and desire to bring home a championship for our fans, players, and my hometown is all the motivation I need."
Royals owner Shawn Fuller said re-signing Roumel was his top priority this offseason.
"Dino's return is pivotal to our goals of fostering a winning environment and providing a player-first experience. His leadership and deep understanding of the game will help ensure that our team is prepared to compete at the highest level. With Dino at the helm, we are not only focused on achieving success on the field but also creating a supportive and dynamic atmosphere that helps each player thrive."
The Royals will announce the rest of Roumel's coaching staff closer to the start of the 2025 season.
