La Russa brings his 2,728-2,365 career record
back to Chicago, where he began his managerial career in 1979 at
age 34. The 76-year-old has not managed a major-league team
since retiring after winning the 2011 World Series with the St.
Louis Cardinals.
The White Sox parted ways with Rick Renteria in mid-October.
La Russa managed 33 years with Chicago (1979-86), the Oakland
Athletics (1986-99) and St. Louis (2000-11). He has won three
World Series titles, one with the Athletics (1989) and two with
the Cardinals (2006, 2011). La Russa went 522-510 in eight
seasons with the White Sox.
Since leaving the dugout, he has worked in front offices of the
Arizona Diamondbacks (2014-17), Boston Red Sox (2018-19) and
most recently the Los Angeles Angels, where he was a senior
adviser.
La Russa was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2014.
