The Nashville Sounds Minor League Baseball team has played in Nashville, Tennessee, since being established in 1978 as an expansion team of the Double-A Southern League. They moved up to Triple-A in 1985 as members of the American Association before joining the Pacific Coast League in 1998. With the restructuring of the minor leagues in 2021, they were placed in the Triple-A East, which became the International League in 2022. The team has been led by 29 managers throughout its history. Managers are responsible for team strategy and leadership on and off the field, including determining the batting order, arranging defensive positioning, and making tactical decisions regarding pitching changes, pinch-hitting, pinch-running, and defensive replacements.{{cite web |url=https://www.mlb.com/glossary/positions/manager |title=What is a Manager? |website=Major League Baseball |access-date=March 11, 2019 |archive-date=August 31, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180831055328/http://m.mlb.com/glossary/positions/manager |url-status=live}} Rick Sweet has been the Sounds' manager since 2021.

Combining all 6,661 regular-season and postseason games, the Sounds have an all-time record of 3,447–3,212–2 ({{winpct|3447|3144}}).

Pete Mackanin coached on the National League team in 1991, and Rick Renick managed the American League team in 1994.

Rick Sweet has won 399 games over five seasons (2014, 2021–2024), placing him first on the all-time wins list for Sounds managers.
