Sheffield Wednesday have handed manager Danny Röhl a new long term contract, after guiding them to Championship survival this season.
The 35-year-old - who is the league's youngest ever manager - joined the Owls last October, when they were bottom of the table and seven points from safety.
But a run of wins towards the end of the season saw them finish three points clear of the relegation zone.
Röhl has now signed a new contract at Hillsborough ahead of the 2024/25 season.
He said: "“It was never in my mind to be anywhere else but Hillsborough.
"I feel at home here, the fans have been incredible, they have shown myself and my staff nothing but kindness since the first day.
“I would like to thank the chairman for giving me this opportunity and now we are excited to look forward and can plan ahead together for the new season."
Owls chairman Dejphon Chansiri said: “I am delighted that Danny will be continuing his managerial journey with our club.
“The impact he made when he joined was immediate and was the foundation for preserving our place in the Championship.
“He has forged a special relationship with our supporters in the short space of time he has been here and now this journey continues."
