Leon Smith has extended his contract as Great Britain's Davis Cup captain until the end of 2018.
After taking over from John Lloyd in April 2010, Smith led Britain to a first Davis Cup title in 79 years with a 3-1 victory over Belgium last year.
He said: "It's a huge honour and privilege to continue captaining our Davis cup team. We have achieved so much over the last six years and becoming World Champions last year will be the highlight of my career."
On the verge of relegation to the competition's bottom tier when Smith took charge , he took the team from Euro/Africa Zone Group II to the top-tier World Group just five years.
Great Britain have won 13 of their last 15 Davis Cup matches under Smith's guidance, including just one defeat on home soil.
"Our Davis Cup journey has captured the imagination of so many people across the country, and I'm looking forward to using our successes as a way to get more kids playing tennis," he added.
"I'm really excited at the opportunity to continue working with this group of players, support staff and of course our fans."
Great Britain started their 2016 Davis Cup campaign with a 3-1 win over Japan at the weekend, and will now face Serbia in the quarter-finals.
