Miami ? Jack McKeon will return to manage the Florida Marlins next season, owner Jeffrey Loria announced Tuesday during the team’s World Series celebration.

“I have some good news and a little bad news. The good news is Jack is coming back,” Loria said. “The bad news is there’s no bad news. These guys did a tremendous job.”

McKeon accepted a one-year extension, Marlins spokesman Steve Copses said.

McKeon, 72, took over when manager Jeff Torborg was fired in May and engineered the Marlins’ turnaround from last-place team to World Series champions. Under McKeon, the Marlins posted the best record in baseball during the final four months of the season.
