ATLANTA - The Atlanta Braves have signed manager Bobby Cox to a one-year extension through the 2009 season.

The Braves made the announcement Friday.

Cox, the winningest manager in Braves franchise history, is in his 27th season as a manager with the Braves. The 67-year-old has guided Atlanta to baseball's best record since 1991 including a run of 14 straight division championships.

Braves General Manager Frank Wren said he's excited that ``one of the most respected managers in all of baseball will again be managing our club in 2009.''
