2002), in Oakland Jim Leyland (1990, 1992, 2006), in Pittsburgh Gene Lamont (1993), with the Chicago White Sox Lou Piniella (1995, 2001, 2008), in Seattle Joe Torre (1996, 1998), in New York Coaching career Pittsburgh Prior to coaching in Milwaukee, Sveum managed the Double A team in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization from 2001–2003, compiling a 213–211 record. In 2003, Baseball America tabbed Sveum as the best potential MLB manager in the Eastern League. Boston Red Sox Sveum was on the coaching staff of the Boston Red Sox from 2004–05, serving as third base coach and working under manager (and former Brewers teammate) Terry Francona. Following Sveum's second season in Boston, he left the Red Sox to rejoin Milwaukee as the team's bench coach. Milwaukee Brewers On October 30, 2007, Sveum switched positions on the staff and became the team's third base coach. On September 15, 2008, he was named interim manager of the Milwaukee Brewers after manager Ned Yost was fired. Sveum led the team to a 7–5 record to close out the 2008 regular season, which was enough for the Brewers to make the playoffs for the first time since their World Series run in 1982. Under Sveum's leadership, the Brewers lost the 2008 NLDS to the Philadelphia Phillies in 4 games. As Ken Macha took over the Brewers for the 2009 season, Sveum stayed on as the team's hitting coach. Chicago Cubs On November 16, 2011 the Chicago Cubs offered Sveum their vacant managerial position. The following day, on November 17, 2011, he accepted an offer to become the new manager of the Chicago Cubs, and was introduced on November 18, 2011. Sveum was fired on September 30, 2013 after posting a record of 127-197 in two seasons with the Cubs. On August 16, 2017, Sveum received a World Series ring from the team. Kansas City Royals On October 3, 2013, the Kansas City Royals announced they had hired Sveum as a coach and infield instructor, reuniting him with Yost (serving as manager). On May 29, 2014, the Royals promoted Sveum to hitting coach in an effort to improve a lackluster offensive start to the season. Sveum departed the Royals when Yost retired from the team after the 2019 season.
