The Milwaukee Brewers Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise of the National League has employed 18 managers and 8 general managers (GMs) during its 41 seasons of play.[1][2] Established in Seattle, Washington as the Seattle Pilots in 1969, the team became the Milwaukee Brewers after relocating to Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1970. The franchise played in the American League until 1998, when it moved to the National League as a part of MLB's realignment plan.[3] The duties of the team manager include team strategy and leadership on and off the field. In contrast, the general manager controls player transactions, hiring and firing of the coaching staff, and negotiates with players and agents regarding contracts.

The team's first manager, Joe Schultz, stayed with the Pilots for the entire 1969 season, but was released before the move to Milwaukee. Buck Rodgers managed the team in 1981 when the Brewers won the American League second-half East Division title.[4] Due to the 1981 Major League Baseball strike, the season was split into two halves. The winners of each half met in the league division series. Rodgers and Harvey Kuenn managed the Brewers in 1982, leading them to win the American League pennant.[5] Rodgers managed the team's first 47 games of the season before being fired and replaced by Kuenn.[6] In 2008, Ned Yost and Dale Sveum, who took over for the fired Yost for the team's last 12 games, led the team to win the National League wild card.[6][7] Ken Macha was the club's most recent manager, helming the club for the 2009 and 2010 seasons. However, it was announced after the completion of the 2010 season that Macha's 2011 option would not be picked up, leaving the spot currently vacant.[8] Ron Roenicke is the team's current manager; he has done an excellent job this 2011 taken the Brewers to the postseason.[9]

Phil Garner won 563 games from 1992 to 1999, giving him more wins than any other manager in franchise history.[1] Having managed the team for 1,180 games, he is also the longest-tenured manager in team history.[1] Harvey Kuenn's .576 winning percentage is the highest of all Brewers managers who have managed the team for a full season or more.[1] Conversely, the lowest winning percentage over a season or more is .395, by the team's first manager, Joe Schultz.[1] These records are correct as of the end of the 2008 season.
