Joe Maddon could be returning to Anaheim.

The Angels fired manager Brad Ausmus on Monday after just one season, and ESPN reports Maddon is likely to return to the organization with which he held various roles for 30 years from 1975 to 2005, including two brief stints as manager. The Cubs announced Sunday that Maddon wouldn’t be returning to Chicago.

According to The Post’s Joel Sherman, the Angels will interview Maddon, who is a strong frontrunner for the position.

So if the Mets decide to move on from Mickey Callaway, they probably won’t have a shot at the top managerial candidate on the market.

Ausmus, 50, was a special assistant for the Angels in 2018 after four seasons as Tigers manager. He led the Angels to a 72-90 record in his lone season as their manager. It was a trying season as the team was stunned by the death of 27-year-old pitcher Tyler Skaggs, who died on July 1 after an accidental overdose of opioids and alcohol, according to autopsy results.

“I want to thank Brad for his hard work and dedication to this organization over the last two seasons as both a special assistant and field manager,” Angels GM Billy Eppler said in a statement. “He navigated this franchise through one of its most difficult seasons with class and professionalism.”

Maddon, 65, helped the Cubs end their 108-year World Series drought in 2016.
