Bruce Bochy\u2019s next destination isn\u2019t a new one.<\/p>\n

A little over a month after Bochy and the Texas Rangers mutually parted ways<\/a>, the former Texas manager has accepted a role with the San Francisco Giants as a special assistant, according to The Athletic<\/a>. The move brings Bochy back to the team he spent 13 seasons and won three World Series titles as manager.<\/p>\n

Bochy just finished up a three-year tenure as the Rangers<\/a>\u2019 manager in which he went 249-237 and led Texas to its first World Series title in franchise history. Now, with 4,518 games under his belt as a manager, he\u2019ll take his decades of experience back to San Francisco to help new manager Tony Vitello. The Giants\u2019 hiring of Vitello from the University of Tennessee marked the first time in over a century a major league team hired a manager straight out of college without any prior professional playing or coaching experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to getting back to the Bay,\u201d Bochy told The Athletic. \u201cAnd of course, I\u2019m looking forward to getting back with the San Francisco Giants, seeing familiar faces and hopefully bring value any way I can.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bochy, who was replaced in Texas by Skip Schumaker<\/a>, also acknowledged that he has probably managed his last game in the big leagues. When he first left Texas, it was rumored he might return to manage the Giants given the vacancy in San Francisco. Giants executive Buster Posey quickly ended that speculation, saying Bochy wasn\u2019t a candidate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would say that\u2019s where I\u2019m at right now,\u201d Bochy said to The Athletic. \u201cI\u2019ll add you don\u2019t ever rule anything out. You don\u2019t, you know? But I\u2019m content with what I\u2019m doing now. I certainly appreciate getting another opportunity to win a championship and I\u2019m forever grateful for that. But I\u2019m in a good place now. This is what I want to do. I want more time for myself and family but also to contribute to a game that I love.\u201d<\/p>\n
