Dundee have confirmed that manager Paul Hartley has signed a new three year contract.
The former Alloa boss has secured a top six finish for the Dark Blues in their first season back in the Premiership and Dundee have a chance of overtaking city rivals Dundee United and Tayside neighbours St Johnstone to claim fourth place, which may mean European football next year.
A Dundee statement read: “Dundee FC are delighted to announce that manager Paul Hartley has signed a new three year deal with the club.
“Paul has been with us for just over a year and the club has enjoyed enormous success during his time in charge.
“During his first few months at the helm Paul guided the team to the SPFL Championship title and just last weekend the club clinched a top six place in the SPFL Premiership; our first top half finish in the top flight in 12 years.
“Paul’s hard work is a key reason we sit where we do today and we look forward to many more years of success under his guidance. We are already building for the future and planning for next season and beyond is well underway.
“The Board of Directors and Paul have a shared vision of where we want Dundee FC to be and the entire football club is delighted that Paul has put pen to paper on this extended deal.”
