As expected, the Phillies rewarded their manager for leading the franchise to its first World Series title in 28 years.

The team announced Tuesday night it had come to terms on a contract extension with manager Charlie Manuel. The Phillies picked up a club option for 2010 and added a guaranteed year for 2011.

Manuel signed to a two-year, $3 million deal after the 2007 season, which included a club option for 2010. But after the Phils collected their second straight division title and went on to win the World Series over the Tampa Bay Rays two months ago, it was difficult to imagine they wouldn’t at the very least pick up that option.

Terms of the re-worked deal were not disclosed.

The 64-year-old Manuel is 574-484 in seven major league seasons as a manager between Cleveland and Philadelphia. The 2009 season will be his fifth with the Phillies.

Since taking over the role as the Phillies skipper in 2005, Manuel has guided the Phillies to an average of 88.5 wins per season.
