Motherwell manager Graham Alexander has signed a new contract at Fir Park just days after marking a year in charge of the Steelmen.
The 50-year-old joined the club on January 7 last year and has taken the club from the bottom end of the Premiership last term to fourh place at the midway point of the current campaign.
Alexander, who has won three Premiership manager of the month awards in 2021, has been rewarded with an extention until at least 2025.
The former Scotland international told the club's website: "I’m delighted to sign a new contract here at Motherwell and continue the progress we have all made in the last 12 months.
“Chris [Lucketti, the assistant manager] and I have received nothing but great support from everyone connected with the club, which has certainly helped us concentrate on our work.
“I have a brilliant relationship with the people I work with every day, and the environment that we’re allowed to develop here to produce results is particularly rewarding.
“I also want to thank the chairman and the board for showing the faith in us from day one to be a success in this role.
“We know we have much more to achieve here. We will strive to work as hard as ever to serve Motherwell in the best way.”
Steelmen chairman Jim McMahon added: “We have been absolutely delighted with Graham’s contribution since joining our club 12 months ago and we are excited about what he is trying to build with us.
“He is talented, hard-working, dedicated and fully buys into the multifaceted role at Motherwell.
“The board will continue to back him to help us achieve our goals both on and off the pitch.”
Motherwell club statement added: "Alexander statistically ranks near the top of the modern-day Motherwell bosses with a win percentage of 47.8% and a league points per game record of 1.55.
"He is also the first manager outside of Celtic and Rangers to win three Premiership Manager of the Month awards in a calendar year, with only Neil Lennon (four), Steven Gerrard, Alex McLeish, Brendan Rodgers and Gordon Strachan (three) for company."
Motherwell return from their winter break on January 18 when they travel to Ross County in the Premiership.
