Miguel Angel Lotina has signed a one-year contract extension at Deportivo la Coruna.

His current deal was set to expire at the end of the season, but he will now remain in the hot-seat for a further 12 months.

Talks between Lotina and club president Augusto Cesar Lendoiro had been ongoing since before Christmas, with the finishing touches finally put to the deal this week.

Lotina took charge at the Riazor in 2007, replacing Joaquin Caparros.

He is currently on target to lead Depor to their highest league finish since 2003/04, when they finished third.

By remaining at the helm for another year he becomes just the third Depor coach in the last 80 years to last three seasons in the job.

"It is possible to work here without excessive pressure and I am calm," said Lotina.

"Now the challenge is to obtain a European place, while fighting for a Champions League spot if possible."
