Fulham manager Scott Parker has signed a new three-year contract with the club.
The 39-year-old guided Fulham back to the English top-flight.
Parker, initially appointed on a caretaker basis in February 2019 before being handed the job permanently three months later, was due to be out of contract at the end of 2020-21 season.
Parker told Fulham’s official website: “I’m delighted to have signed a new deal which shows mutual faith and commitment, on both my side and the Club’s.
“I’m pleased with the hard work we have all carried out behind the scenes which resulted in achieving our objective of promotion to the Premier League last month. This has been a huge effort involving many people, and has continued in our preparations for the new season.
“Signing a new deal provides stability and an opportunity to keep on developing the team. There is still a lot of hard work ahead of us, and we’ll always be striving to improve and progress every day.”
Fulham FC owner Shahid Khan said: “We believed in Scott Parker when we signed him as a player in 2013, and we believed in him as our Caretaker Manager at the end of our most recent season in the Premier League.
“Our belief and confidence in Scott is stronger than ever today and is evident in this new three-year contract, which is fully deserved, and I’m thoroughly honoured to offer as we return next week to top-flight football.”
Fulham will start their Premier League campaign on September 12 with a home match against Arsenal.
