Mark Cooper has extended his stay as Yeovil Town manager, signing a new three year deal.
The 55-year-old took The Glovers back up to the National League last season after winning the National League South title.
"I could not be more pleased that Mark has agreed to stay with the club on a three-year contract renewal," club owner and chairman Martin Hellier told the club's official website., external
"Fourteen record wins in a row, attendance records smashed, and several other accolades are all testament to Mark’s prowess as a manager and his commitment to the club."
Former Forest Green boss Cooper was appointed Glovers head coach in October 2022 under previous ownership, but could not save them from relegation to the sixth tier.
But last season the Somerset side won 29 of their 46 games to finish 11 points clear at the top of the table.
Hellier also confirmed that he would be "injecting more funds into the player budget" to "fine tune" the squad at Huish Park ahead of their upcoming campaign which begins next Saturday, at home to Hartlepool.
Cooper has already recruited seven signings in the summer transfer window, including Southampton goalkeeper Oliver Wright on loan and 20-year-old striker Harvey Greenslade.
