Mike Scioscia met with the front office for several days before it was determined that he would return to the Los Angeles Angels for the 2014 season along with Jerry Dipoto.
"We had some really aggressive meetings these last 10 days, and I met with [Angels owner] Arte [Moreno] and [Angels president] John Carpino and Jerry, and there's no doubt we're on the same page," Scioscia told ESPNLA 710 on Tuesday. "There's no doubt there's no philosophical differences. We just have to figure out a way to get it done better and more effectively and move our organization ahead. Jerry Dipoto and I, we don't agree on everything. No GM and manager agree on everything.
"One thing about me is I'm hard-headed, I'm opinionated and I'm going to stand up for what I think is right, and you put four guys who are hard-headed in the same room and are opinionated, and you can look at that as conflict but it really isn't in baseball terms."
Scioscia, who has five years and $27 million left on his contract, and Dipoto, who has one year left on his contract, both were told they would be retained next season following the meetings.
