Sat Oct 11 01:40:00 UTC 2025: **Angels Poised to Name Albert Pujols as Next Manager**
**Anaheim, CA** – In a move that has generated both excitement and skepticism, the Los Angeles Angels are reportedly set to name Albert Pujols as their next manager. Sources indicate that Pujols met with General Manager Perry Minasian last night, and while an official offer is still pending, the job is his if he wants it.
The Angels are eager to make an announcement before the World Series, but discussions are ongoing to address the impact of Pujols’ existing personal services contract with the team, signed after his retirement as a player in 2022.
Pujols, while expressing prior interest in managing, has limited experience, with his only managerial role being with a Dominican winter ball team last offseason. The team is also reportedly considering former big leaguer Ramón Martínez as pitching coach.
The Angels have struggled in recent years, failing to secure a winning season since 2015. If the deal finalizes, Pujols will be tasked with turning the team around after a series of managerial changes.
