Gareth Ainsworth has extended his contract by another three years to remain as Wycombe boss until 2023.

The 45-year-old has been in charge at Wycombe since 2012, making him the country's second-longest serving manager behind Morecambe boss Jim Bentley.

Ainsworth penned a five-and-a-half year deal in December 2014 but has been rewarded with a contract extension after guiding the Chairboys to promotion to League One last season.

Wycombe sporting director Andrew Howard said: "Quite simply, Gareth is the perfect fit for Wycombe Wanderers and extending his contract here is a fantastic and important piece of business.
