If he is not fired, I will leave the Kansas City Royals head coach, as he has a misunderstanding with his star player.
I will part ways with the head coach of the Kansas City Royals if he is not sacked because of a disagreement with a key player.
Missouri’s Kansas City The Kansas City Royals dismissed manager Mike Matheny and pitching coach Cal Eldred on Wednesday night, not long after the underperforming team completed the season 65-97 with a dismal 9-2 loss to the Cleveland Guardians.
During spring training, the Royals had activated their option on Matheny’s contract for 2023, hoping to move up from also-ran to contender status. However, the Royals were mostly out of the running for the postseason by the middle of the summer due to a weak bunch of veterans, young position players having trouble, and poor pitching.
Due to the unsatisfactory on-field performance, owner John Longtime front office executive Dayton Moore, who designed the 2015 World Series champion squad and the American League champs in back-to-back seasons, was fired by Sherman last month. Just hours after the season concluded, J.J. Picollo, one of his longstanding understudies, took over as Matheny’s boss.
“I knew going into the Royals that they were a caring and exceptional organization, and I was consistently shown that attention. Royals This bunch of players should thrill fans, and I’m excited to watch them develop further.”

The St. Louis Cardinals were managed by Matheny for portions of seven seasons; he finished each with a winning record and captured the 2013 National League pennant. However, he was fired by the Royals in the middle of 2018. He was subsequently brought on as an advisor for the team, and when longtime manager Ned Yost decided to retire before the 2020 campaign, he was chosen to take over.
In charge of overseeing a rebuild in the works, Matheny went 26–34 in his first season due to COVID-19, but he seemed to make headway the next season as the Royals introduced a number of players.
