Lapin Forced Out as Manager in Cincinnati
Monday, June 2nd , 2025
Weeks of speculation were officially ended today when it was announced that Dominique Lapin has been dismissed as the manager of the Cincinnati Bearcats.
"I can't really say I'm surprised. I saw this coming for a while, but I guess there was nothing much I could really do to prevent it," Dominique Lapin told BNN. "It's not easy to manage when every decision you make is closely scrutinized and criticized, but that's what I dealt with."
A team official said the firing was the end result of "major and irreconcilable differences of opinion" between Lapin and the front office. When pressed for more information, Cincinnati general manager skirted the issue.
"We're not going to get into that right now. It's not really important why he was fired -- we're just going in a different direction," he said.
BNN originally reported Lapin's tenure with the club was in jeopardy three weeks ago, which team officials at the time dismissed as "just a rumor."
