UNITED BOSS AGREES NEW DEAL
Leeds United manager Simon Grayson has agreed a new three-year contract.
The promotion winning boss has agreed a new deal after lifting the club out of League One last season.
United chairman Ken Bates said: "I'm very pleased. Simon has committed his future to the club despite enticing offers from elsewhere.
"We have every confidence in him. He has won two promotions in his managerial career - one here and one at Blackpool - and we're hoping he can make that a hat-trick at the club where he first started out."
The United boss, who was appointed in December 2008 when he became the club's third manager in just 11 months, also spoke his delight.
"I'm delighted the club have offered me a longer contract," he said.
"My intentions have always been to take the club forward and after achieving promotion last season, I hope we can go on to fulfil everyone's dream of winning promotion back to the Premier League."I work closely with the chairman and Shaun (Harvey), we've got a good relationship, and I hope we can keep progressing as a club. That's what we're all working towards."
