Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has signed a new contract with the club which will see him remain at the club until at least 2020, with an option for one more year. The Portuguese coach initially penned a three-year deal to become United manager back in the summer of 2016, with the option of an additional 12 months.
He led the Red Devils to success in the EFL Cup and the Europa League and says he is honoured to extend his stay at Old Trafford.
"I am really honoured and proud to be Manchester United manager," he told the club’s website. "We have set very high standards - winning three trophies in one season - but those are the standards I expect my teams to aim for. We are creating the conditions for a brilliant and successful future for Manchester United.
"My thanks, of course, go to my staff and to my players; without their empathy and friendship this wouldn’t be possible. I love my players and it is a pleasure to know that we are going to be together for at least the next three years.
"And I cannot finish without thanking the fans for their support and for making me feel at home so quickly. I repeat, to be Manchester United manager is an honour every day and I am really happy."
