Former Chicago White Sox All-Star third baseman Robin Ventura was named manager of the Major League Baseball club, the team said on Thursday.
Ventura, who was working as a director of player development for the White Sox, replaces the colorful Ozzie Guillen, who parted ways with the club last month and joined the Florida Marlins.
"When I rejoined the White Sox this June, I said this was my baseball home and that part of me never left the White Sox organization," Ventura said in statement.
"My family and I are thrilled to be returning to Chicago. Managing a Major League Baseball team is a tremendous honor. It's also an opportunity and a challenge."
Ventura was originally drafted by the White Sox in 1988, and played more than 10 years with the club. He also played for the New York Mets, New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers during his 16-year career.
In 2,079 career games, Ventura had a .267 batting average with 294 home runs.
"I wanted someone who met very specific criteria centered around his leadership abilities," said White Sox General Manager Ken Williams. "Robin Ventura was that man. "
