The Pittsburgh Pirates announced a series of coaching additions to their major-league staff Friday, as new manager Don Kelly gets settled on the job.

Former manager Gene Lamont is joining the Pirates as a special adviser to Kelly, while Triple-A Indianapolis manager Chris Truby has been added to the major-league coaching staff in an unspecified capacity.

Kelly, named skipper in place of Derek Shelton, who was fired May 8, vacated his role as bench coach to take over as manager.

Third base coach Mike Rabelo, who will continue in that role, is set to take on bench duties and will have “increased responsibilities in game planning and in-game strategy,” per the Pirates.

Lamont, 78, served as manager of the Pirates from 1997-2000, compiling a record of 295-352 (.456) in 647 games.

This will be his third stint with the Pirates organization, having been one of Jim Leyland’s original coaches on the 1986 Pirates club.

Lamont coached under Leyland in Pittsburgh through 1991, before departing to assume managerial duties of the Chicago White Sox.

From 1992 through 42 games of the 1995 campaign in Chicago, when he was fired, Lamont went 258-210 (.551) as manager, guiding the ‘93 White Sox to an AL West divisional title and berth in the ALCS.

For his efforts, Lamont was named AL Manager of the Year in 1993.

Lamont later returned to the Pirates in 1996 and succeeded Leyland as manager the following season.

That year’s Pirates were dubbed the “Freak Show,” and finished 79-83, good for second place in a weak NL Central Division.

Under Lamont, 79 wins in 1997 would be the high-water mark, as the Pirates went 69-93 the following season, 78-83 in 1999 and 69-93 again in 2000.

Lamont has also coached with the Boston Red Sox (2001), Houston Astros (2002-04) and Detroit Tigers (2006-17), where he was reunited once more with Leyland for eight seasons.

Truby was in his first season as manager of Triple-A Indianapolis.

He will be succeeded in that role by Shawn Bowman, who began the 2025 campaign as the Pirates’ assistant director, coaching and player development/minor league field coordinator.

Truby is joining the Pirates on Friday in Philadelphia ahead of a series vs. the Phillies, while Lamont will assume his duties at the beginning of next week’s homestand.
