Tony La Russa will return as manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Saturday night.
La Russa told the Post-Dispatch he had not discussed a contract with team chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. But he expects to have a decision soon.
"I'm coming to an understanding of what I'm doing and intend to get it settled one way or the other shortly," La Russa, whose current two-year deal expires Oct. 31, told the Post-Dispatch.
La Russa, who during the offseason lives in Alamo, Calif., east of Oakland, was scheduled to arrive in St. Louis for a Bruce Springsteen concert Sunday night.
La Russa is the Cardinals' winningest manager. He ranks third all-time with 2,552 managerial wins behind Connie Mack and John McGraw. He led the Cardinals to a World Series title in 2006.
