The Nationals named bench coach Miguel Cairo as their interim manager on Monday.

Cairo, a native of Venezuela who played for nine teams over 17 big leage seasons from 1996 to 2012, replaces Dave Martinez, who was fired along with general manager Mike Rizzo on Sunday.

Cairo, 51, joined the Nationals in 2024 after spending the previous season as the minor league infield coordinator for the Mets. He also served as bench coach for the White Sox during the 2021 and 2022 seasons, being named active manager after Tony La Russa stepped aside in 2022 because of an undisclosed medical condition. The White Sox went 18-16 down the stretch under Cairo.

Cairo played all positions except catcher, center fielder and pitcher during his career. He was a career .264 hitter with 41 homers and 394 RBIs in 1,490 games.
