The New York Yankees announced Friday that they exercised their club option on manager Aaron Boone for 2025.

Boone will return for an eighth season as New York's skipper after leading the club to its first World Series since 2009, which it lost in five games to the Los Angles Dodgers.

"I am grateful for the trust placed in me to lead this team. It's a responsibility – and an opportunity – that I will never take lightly," Boone said in a statement, according to MLB's Bryan Hoch.

"I'm already looking forward to reporting for spring training in Tampa and working tirelessly to return the Yankees to the postseason to compete for a World Championship."

The Yankees won their third AL East division title under Boone's leadership in 2024 with a 94-68 record. The team has gone 603-429, good for a .584 winning percentage, since he took over in 2018.

Boone, largely considered a player's manager, is known for his short fuse with umpires. His 39 ejections since 2018 lead baseball.

The 51-year-old also played MLB 12 seasons and spent one year with the Yankees in 2003, during which he famously hit a walk-off home run in Game 7 of the ALCS against the Boston Red Sox.
