Fulham manager Marco Silva has signed a new contract with the club until the end of the 2025-26 campaign.
The 46-year-old's previous deal at Craven Cottage had been due to expire next summer, leading to speculation over his long-term future in West London.
However, he has now put pen to paper on fresh terms that will extend his overall stay at the club to five years.
"I'm really pleased to sign a new contract as it was something we had been discussing for some time. It's always a good sign when both parties are happy and want to continue working together," he told the club's official website.
"I feel that the business is not done yet, we've had two great seasons, and the goal is clearly there to sustain this club in the Premier League. This is key for the future of this club, and we are working hard to achieve it.
"It is important to feel the trust and have the support of our owners. My relationship with them, and with Fulham Football Club as a whole, has been really important in this decision and the success of the last two seasons.
"The commitment and ambition that these players have demonstrated since day one has been the key to what we have achieved, and that will always continue to be the case, along with the unconditional support of our fans, who are fundamental. Let's continue together on this long journey."
Chairman Shahid Khan added: "This is a wonderful day for Fulham Football Club. Specifically, it's a fantastic moment for Fulham supporters, who deserve our very best efforts to invest in the present and future of their club, both within and around the game.
"I'm happy to announce that we have a new contract with Marco Silva through 2025-26, and am confident this news will inspire our players and fans, both immediately and in the seasons ahead.
"When I first met Marco in 2021, I knew then he represented everything we needed and more from our next head coach. I am grateful that Marco believed, as I did, in what is possible here at Fulham, and now here we are several years later reaffirming our commitment to achieving something special for our fans.
"Marco and I are aligned – we have work ahead, but even more to look forward to."
Vice-chairman Tony Khan also commented on the news, telling the club website: "I'm delighted for Fulham fans and the entire club that we have secured Marco's future here, and that he will be with us until at least 2026!
"Through working together for the last few years, we've developed a great relationship, and are in tune with ambitions for the club and aspirations for the future.
"I'm a huge admirer of Marco's, his work ethic, professionalism and his hunger for success for Fulham translate through the whole club, and we all look forward to the next phase of our journey together."
Silva arrived at Fulham in 2021 having spent previous stints in charge at Hull City, Watford and Everton in England, and he steered the Cottagers to promotion from the Championship during his maiden campaign at the helm.
The West Londoners then comfortably consolidated their position in the Premier League last season, recording a top-half finish as Fulham ended 2022-23 in 10th place.
Silva was heavily linked with a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League during the summer, but reports suggested that he turned down offers of up to £40m over two seasons from Al-Ahli and Al Hilal.
The Portuguese has taken charge of 105 matches at Fulham, winning 51 of those with 21 draws and 33 defeats. body check tags ::
