After a [[spring training]] stint with the Yankees in 2004, Girardi retired and became a [[Sportscaster|commentator]] for the [[YES Network]].

Instead, he became the Yankees' bench coach. He managed a game during a [[Joe Torre]] suspension, a loss to the [[Kansas City Royals]]. Girardi remained the host of Kids on Deck in 2005, having shot his shows before spring training. During games, YES promoted Kids on Deck by showing Girardi sitting in the dugout during breaks in the game.<ref>{{cite web|title=Joe Girardi|url=http://www.thebaseballpage.com/players/girarjo01/bio|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150930083939/http://www.thebaseballpage.com/players/girarjo01/bio|archive-date=September 30, 2015|access-date=October 12, 2012|website=The Baseball Page|publisher=}}</ref>

On August 2, 2008, Girardi participated in his first [[Old Timers' Day]], the last such game played at the original [[Yankee Stadium (1923)|Yankee Stadium]]. Girardi participated in the next Old Timer's Day on July 19, 2009, the first in the new Yankee Stadium, as well as every one since then. Girardi's first year as a Yankees manager was unsuccessful as the team was eliminated from postseason contention for the first time since 1993, finishing 2008 with an 89–73 record, third in the AL East.<ref>{{Cite web|title=2008 New York Yankees Statistics|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/NYY/2008.shtml|website=[[Baseball-Reference.com]]}}</ref>

In 2009, his second year as manager, the Yankees were a much improved team. He led the Yankees to their 40th AL pennant and their 27th World Series title (defeating the Philadelphia Phillies), his first World Series title as manager and the Yankees' first since 2000.<ref>{{cite web|title=MLB World Series Champions – Major League Baseball – ESPN|url=http://www.espn.com/mlb/worldseries/history/winners|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171021055313/http://www.espn.com/mlb/worldseries/history/winners|archive-date=October 21, 2017|access-date=October 22, 2017|website=[[ESPN]]}}</ref>

Before the 2010 season, Girardi changed his number to 28.

The Yankees' 2011 season was plagued by injuries that caused disabled list stints for several key players. Despite the setbacks, Girardi managed to lead the team to the AL East title. [[Rob Parker (sports journalist)|Rob Parker]] of [[ESPN]] commended Girardi's performance and felt his efforts were deserving of [[Manager of the Year Award|American League Manager of the Year]], but felt he would not get the award due to the Yankees high payroll and what Parker alleges is an anti-Yankee bias.<ref>{{cite web|last=Parker|first=Rob|date=September 22, 2011|title=Joe Girardi deserves credit for Bombers' success|url=https://www.espn.com/new-york/mlb/story/_/id/7002863/new-york-yankees-joe-girardi-deserves-credit-bombers-success|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111011114852/http://espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/story/_/id/7002863/new-york-yankees-joe-girardi-deserves-credit-bombers-success|archive-date=October 11, 2011|access-date=October 11, 2011|website=[[ESPN]]|publisher=}}</ref> The Yankees were defeated by the Detroit Tigers 3–2 in the divisional round.<ref>{{cite web|last=Brown|first=Tim|date=October 7, 2011|title=Tigers dance atop vanquished Yankees in Game 5|url=https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ti-brown_tigers_yankees_alds_game_five_100611|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111012112718/http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ti-brown_tigers_yankees_alds_game_five_100611|archive-date=October 12, 2011|access-date=October 11, 2011|website=[[Yahoo!

While driving home after winning the 2009 World Series, Girardi stopped to help a car crash victim on a dangerous blind curve of the [[Cross County Parkway]] in [[Eastchester (town), New York|Eastchester, New York]].

The driver said she had no idea who Girardi was until the responding officers identified him. The next day, Girardi said, "I think the most important thing is that, obviously, there's a lot of joy in what we do, but we can't forget to be human beings when we help others out."<ref>{{Cite web|last1=Nguyen|first1=Hoa|last2=Cohen|first2=Shawn|date=November 5, 2009|title=Yanks manager Girardi discusses Eastchester traffic-crash stop on WFAN|url=http://www.lohud.com/article/20091105/SPORTS01/911050402/Yanks-manager-Girardi-aids-crash-victim-in-Westchester-on-way-home-from-Series-clincher|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091108122653/http://www.lohud.com/article/20091105/SPORTS01/911050402/Yanks-manager-Girardi-aids-crash-victim-in-Westchester-on-way-home-from-Series-clincher|archive-date=November 8, 2009|access-date=November 8, 2009|website=LoHud.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=November 5, 2009 |title=Girardi stops to help after Series win |url=https://www.espn.com/mlb/playoffs/2009/news/story?id=4625899 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091109025823/http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs/2009/news/story?id=4625899 |archive-date=November 9, 2009 |access-date=November 5, 2009 |website=[[ESPN]]|agency=[[Associated Press]]}}</ref>
