Millwall have announced that manager Neil Harris has agreed a new long-term contract.
Harris, assistant boss David Livermore and first-team coach Adam Barrett have all signed new deals to extend their stay at The Den.
The 40-year-old was appointed as caretaker boss following Ian Holloway's sacking in March 2015 and, although he was unable to keep the club in the Sky Bet Championship, he was made permanent manager a month later.
And Harris has been a major success in the role, leading the Lions back into the Championship, where they finished eighth last season, just three points shy of a play-off place.
Millwall have now moved to tie down their manager for the long term, and he told the club website: "I've had three years in charge and I've really enjoyed it.
"It's been a great experience and we've developed as a club consistently.
"What I want to do is keep growing with the club. I'm delighted that my staff are staying with me too.
"It's important for me that we're continuously growing and moving forward - we've always talked about small steps.
"We're not going to be a club that gets ourselves into financial trouble, we're going to take small steps. That's how I like to work.
"The players have responded really well. It's exciting times and we look forward to a new season."
Also a fans' favourite during his playing days, Harris scored 138 goals in a total of 380 appearances for Millwall during two separate spells with the club.
