Before this series of failures, the California formation had maintained a respectable record of 27-17. However, they fell below .500 (27-29) after the most recent 1-0 loss on Monday against the Boston Red Sox.
Phil Nevin, who previously served as third base coach, will serve as interim manager.
During his reign with the Angels, which began in 2020, Maddon went 130-148, missing the playoffs every year.
In addition to his time in Los Angeles, the 68-year-old has several career achievements, including helping the Chicago Cubs end a 108-year drought without winning the World Series in 2016. .
