Manchester United have confirmed Michael Carrick is staying as head coach after agreeing to a deal locking him in until 2028.
The former Red Devils midfielder, captain and coach has improved results and morale since being brought in after Ruben Amorim's acrimonious January exit.
Carrick secured Champions League football with three matches to spare and United wrapped up third spot in the Premier League standings with Sunday's 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest - his 11th victory in 16 games.
The 44-year-old was rewarded with a two-year extension, almost a week after a broad agreement was reached.
"From the moment that I arrived here 20 years ago, I felt the magic of Manchester United," Carrick said on Friday.
"Carrying the responsibility of leading our special football club fills me with immense pride.
