Yeovil Town have followed up their historic promotion to the Championship by tying manager, Gary Johnson, down to a new two-year contract.
It's just over two weeks since the 57-year-old helped the Glovers secure a place in English football's second tier next season following a play-off final win at Wembley.
Matthias Kurth reports:
Speaking at a press conference at Huish Park earlier, Gary Johnson said:
– Gary Johnson, Yeovil Town managerLots of good things have still got to happen, but I've got those assurances and it's great for me now to settle down and talk to the players because I'm now going to be the manager here for the next couple of years at least.
I want us all to stay together. It's a great team, I'm getting on well with the board of directors, and I seem to be getting on well with the media judging by the hundreds here in this room.
– Gary JohnsonIt's exciting because we're taking our club to the next level. Who wouldn't want to be a part of what we've achieved over the last few years?
I can see that the club still wants to progress and is still working very hard to make sure that we can compete at championship level.
Gary Johnson has signed a new two-year contract to remain as manager of Yeovil Town.
Yeovil's assistant manager Terry Skiverton and coach Darren Way have also agreed new deals with the club to stay until the summer of 2015.
Yeovil Town are expected to announce today that Gary Johnson has signed a new contract to continue as manager.
The media has been invited to a news conference at Huish Park this morning.
Last season Johnson guided the Glovers to promotion to the Championship, English football's second tier, for the first time.
