Alkmaar boss commits to Dutch high-fliers until 2015

AZ Alkmaar coach Gertjan Verbeek has been rewarded with a two-year contract extension after making a big impact on his first 18 months in charge. Verbeek, who has committed to AZ until summer 2015, has impressed since taking the reins at the Eredivisie club for the start of the 2010-11 campaign. AZ finished fourth last season and are currently third in the table and just three points adrift of the top spot. The club also finished second in their Europa League group this term and will face Anderlecht in the round of 32. Verbeek told Uefa's official website of his renewed terms: "I have been working very well with everyone here at the club, so I am extremely happy with it."
