New Dodgers manager

Former outfielder Dave Roberts was confirmed as the new manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday, becoming the first ethnic minority boss of the iconic franchise, the Major League Baseball outfit said.

Roberts, 43, the son of an African-American former marine and Japanese-American mother, will be formally introduced on December 1, the Dodgers said. He replaces Don Mattingly, who left the club by mutual agreement at the end of the close season after the Dodgers once again failed to reach the World Series. Roberts played for the Dodgers between 2002 and 2004, and a nomadic career also included stints with the Cleveland Indians, Boston Red Sox, San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants.
