Guillermo Quiroz was announced as the new manager of the Águilas del Zulia for the 2026-2027 season of the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League (LVBP).

The announcement was made by the Zulian team through a statement published on their social networks, in which they detailed that after an internal evaluation process, they decided to appoint Guillermo Quiroz as the new manager of Aguilas del Zulia, who will be accompanied by Carlos Maldonado as bench coach. “We trust that they will be the leaders responsible for taking our team where we all want to go,” he said.

“We are convinced that we have the talent to reach a final and win a championship. We are not satisfied with the development of our latest Round Robins and we continue to work daily to give the Zulian fans the seventh title they so deserve,” the letter said.

He also pointed out that with the return of a son from home like Guillermo Quiroz alongside a first-level coaching staff, “we not only seek to compete with the highest standards, but to maintain and strengthen that indomitable spark that has always characterized baseball in Zulia.

“We invite all the eagle fans to join us on this journey. The goal is clear and the work doesn't stop. Take care of it, Eagles!” , concluded.

This will be Quiroz's first experience as a manager in Venezuela. In the big leagues between 2018 and 2019, he was a strong Class A and Triple A coach with the Chicago White Sox, and since 2021 he has been a manager in that same organization.

In Venezuela, he played 11 of his 17 seasons in the LVBP with the rapaces.
