Joe Girardi wouldn’t have cleared his schedule if he wasn’t confident he’d make a return to managing.
After stepping down as manager from USA Baseball on Wednesday, the former Yankees manager explained his reasoning to WFAN’s Mike Francesa a few hours after the move was made official. Girardi, who is also currently an analyst for MLB Network, explained his decision and expressed his confidence in how he thinks things will pan out.
“I really believe that I’m going to get an opportunity,” the former Yankees manager said.
Girardi was chosen by USA Baseball to lead the United States to the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
