Charlie_Manuel

The Phillies offered their former manager Charlie Manuel a job immediately upon firing him.  Manuel had wished to keep managing, but despite several vacancies, Manuel struck out in getting a new job for the 2014 season.   Now, Manuel appears to have accepted a job with the Phillies, though the specifics are yet to be clear.

Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer included this tidbit his "Phillies notes":

Charlie Manuel is expected to accept a role in the Phillies front office that would involve some minor-league hitting instruction, scouting and public relations. Amaro said he is still talking about details with Manuel.

Manuel's presence should delight many Phillies fans who hoped he would stay aboard.
