Tamworth manager Andy Peaks has signed a new full-time contract to run until 2027, three days before their FA Cup third-round tie against Tottenham Hotspur.
Peaks has been in charge since February 2022 and led them to back-to-back promotions, including winning last season's National League North title.
They reached round three by knocking out Huddersfield Town and Burton Albion, both League One clubs.
The 53-year-old former AFC Rushden & Diamonds boss will leave his job as a support worker at Tresham College in Kettering, Northamptonshire, in February to focus full-time on The Lambs.
"I am delighted to have accepted the offer to go full-time with the club, which will allow me to focus and concentrate on securing the clubs position within the National League," Peaks said.
The sold-out tie against Spurs - which kicks off at 12:30 GMT on Sunday - is the club's biggest since facing Everton in the third round in 2011-12.
Tamworth are 16th in the National League table and go into the game after being knocked out of the FA Trophy by Sutton United last weekend.
