Eintracht Braunschweig head coach Torsten Lieberknecht has signed a contract extension that runs until the summer of 2017.
Lieberknecht, who has been in charge of Braunschweig since 2008, oversaw notable success last season as the club ended their 28-year wait for a return to Germany s top flight.
The club have struggled to adapt and lie bottom of the table this term with 15 points from 22 matches.
However, sporting director Marc Arnold has labelled Lieberknecht s performances as outstanding and the latter is delighted to be staying put.
I am pleased with this great vote of confidence, he said. I identify myself with this incredible club.
I want to establish the club in the next few years in the game.
Braunschweig host Borussia Monchengladbach this weekend and Liberknecht anticipates a tough challenge despite the visitors being without a win in seven matches.
Gladbach is an exceptional team, he added. Especially in attack with players like Juan Arango, Max Kruse, Patrick Hermann and Raphael.
We will give them a lot of respect.
