Kapler, 44, was fired by the Philadelphia Phillies last month after two disappointing seasons during which they went 161-163.
The Giants announced the appointment of Kapler, who replaces Bruce Bochy after the 64-year-old retired at the end of the 2019 MLB season.
“Our top priority in the next manager was to find someone who can build strong relationships with our players, coaches, front office and fans, and someone who has the drive and desire to win,” Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi said.
“After an exhaustive and comprehensive search, we are delighted to welcome Gabe Kapler as the next manager of the San Francisco Giants.”
Kapler played for numerous MLB teams, winning the World Series with the Boston Red Sox in 2004.
