Cora Could Return to Phillies | Boston News

Alex Cora, the fiery Red Sox manager who led them to a World Series title before being shockingly fired in April, is now the top candidate to take over as Phillies manager — a move that could reignite his career just as the Phillies chase a championship. Despite turning down the job immediately after his firing, Cora’s connection to Phillies exec Dave Dombrowski and his proven track record — including a surprising team uptick post-firing — make him a hot commodity. At 51, Cora says he’s not chasing a lifetime behind the dugout, but with the Phillies’ win-now window open and Don Mattingly’s interim stint on the line, Cora might just be the spark the Phillies need to finally break through.
