Peoria Bloomington, IL, October 14, 2026 —

The Philadelphia Phillies have appointed Don Mattingly as the team’s manager under a two-year contract. The appointment and contract term are the only details provided about the move.

The information available does not specify when the appointment was announced or when Mattingly is expected to begin the role. It also does not describe the contract’s financial terms or indicate whether the agreement includes options or other conditions.

No details were provided about the circumstances surrounding the appointment, the team’s decision-making process or any comments from Mattingly or the Phillies. The information also does not state who, if anyone, held the manager’s position before the appointment.

Further specifics about the timing, contract terms and the organization’s announcement were not included in the available summary. No additional claims about the appointment can be established from the information provided.
