Multiple publications, including the Boston Globe, are reporting the Boston Red Sox will interview Detroit Tigers third base coach Gene Lamont for their managerial opening.

Lamont, who was hired by the Tigers in 2005, served as the third base coach for the Red Sox in 2001. He will turn 65 in December.

Lamont has managed two teams, the Chicago White Sox and Pittsburgh Pirates, but hasn't help a top job since he fired by the Pirates in 2000. In eight seasons he compiled a 553-562 record.

The Red Sox are looking to replace Terry Francona, who was fired after seven years with the team. He won two World Series titles during that stretch.

This season the Red Sox suffered a monumental collapse, losing 20 of their final 27 games and blowing a nine-game lead for the AL Wild Card.

According to the Globe report, the Red Sox will also be interviewing Toronto Blue Jays first base coach Torey Lovullo this week. The team has already interviewed Pete Mackanin (Phillies bench coach), Dale Sveum (Brewers hitting coach) and Sandy Alomar Jr. (Indians first base coach)
