Angels' Mike Scioscia Wants To Manage Next Season

Los Angeles Angels manager Mike Scioscia says he wants to keep manaaging beyond this season.

Last month, Scioscia denied rumors that he was stepping down at the end of the 2017 campaign, calling the reports "poppycock."

"I love managing," Scioscia said to KLAA-AM. "I love the dugout. I love the challenge of getting the team and getting them going in the right direction. That's something I thoroughly enjoy."

Scioscia, 59, is nearing the end of his contract, which pays him $5 million a season.

"I'd like to," Scioscia said when asked if wanted to keep managing.
