Head coach Phillip Cocu extends his contract with Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven until the summer of 2019.

PSV Eindhoven head coach Phillip Cocu has signed a new contract at the Philips Stadion.

The 45-year-old's previous deal with the Eredivisie champions had been due to expire in the summer of 2017.

However, under the terms of his fresh deal, the former Netherlands international has committed himself to PSV by a further two years.

"We've embarked on a new route - one with a beautiful view. But there's still more to come from the club, as there is from me. That's why I want to continue here," he told the club's official website.

"We're going to focus on our own youth but, at the same time, we want to continue to supplement the team with more experienced players. We'll continue to do so wherever possible."

Earlier today Cocu's team were drawn against Atletico Madrid in the knockout stages of the Champions League.
