Adelaide United coach Carl Veart has signed a contract extension to remain at the Reds until the end of the 2025/26 A-League Men season.
United's powerbrokers say locking Veart on a fresh deal had been a priority amid the Reds' red-hot run.
Adelaide are unbeaten in 11 games and hold second spot on the ladder ahead of Friday night's home game against Sydney FC.
"What Carl and his coaching staff have achieved over the past three seasons has been phenomenal," United's chief executive Nathan Kosmina said on Thursday.
"Thanks to Carl, our football program has never been better positioned for consistent, longer-term success."
Veart re-joined the Reds' coaching set-up ahead of the 2019/20 season as an assistant coach.
The South Australian was appointed interim head coach role following the league's COVID-19 postponement, then accepted the permanent job.
"I have always said this club has held a special place in my heart and I'm very pleased to know that my future will remain here," Veart said.
"Since I returned to United, we have made a lot of progress both on and off the field but we still have a lot of work to do.
"As for this season, we're in a very good position and there's every opportunity to make this campaign very memorable."
