Atlanta, GA (SportsNetwork.com) - Atlanta Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez will return for a fifth season in 2015. Gonzalezs job status had come into question when general manager Frank Wren was fired in late September after the Braves had been officially eliminated from playoff contention with a late-season swoon. Interim general manager John Hart made the decision to keep Gonzalez on Friday. The Braves were tied for first place at the All-Star break and still in the hunt for a wild-card berth heading into the final month, but a 7-18 mark in September left them with a disappointing record of 79-83. Gonzalez is under contract through the 2015 campaign. He has a record of 358-290 with a pair of playoff appearances in four seasons since replacing Bobby Cox in the Atlanta dugout. The Braves lost in the wild-card game after the 2012 season and last year won the National League East before falling in the Division Series. Gonzalez previously managed the Marlins from 2007-10 and has a career managerial record of 634-569 in eight seasons. The Braves on Friday also named former Astros manager Bo Porter as the teams third base coach. Porter was fired on Sept. 1 in his second season as Houstons skipper. He was the third base coach under Gonzalez with the Marlins. Porter will replace Doug Dascenzo as third base coach. Assistant hitting coach Scott Fletcher will also not return. Hitting coach Greg Walker had previously announced his resignation after the season. The remainder of the Braves staff, including pitching coach Roger McDowell, bench coach Carlos Tosca, first base coach Terry Pendleton and bullpen coach Eddie Perez, will return for 2015.
