After playing for Team Italy in three World Baseball Classics (2006, 2009, and 2013) and having spent nearly a decade as the everyday Rimini shortstop, Jack Santora began his Minor League Baseball-affiliated coaching career in 2017 with the Los Angeles Angels Single-A affiliate Burlington Bees before taking on the managerial reins of the rookie-level Arizona League Angels in 2018.

His quick ascent up the ladder landed him in Utah, where he ran the LA Angels Rookie Advanced affiliate Orem Owlz in 2019. He recently made even more forward progress when the Single A-Advanced affiliate Inland Empire 66ers of San Bernardino announced that Jack Santora had been named as their new manager for the 2020 season on December 19, 2019.
