Manchester City manager Gareth Taylor has signed a new three-year contract with the Women's Super League club.
Taylor took over in May 2020 and went on to win the FA Cup that year and the League Cup in 2022 with City.
His side are second in the WSL standings on goal difference behind leaders Chelsea.
“I think what we're doing here and what we're trying to achieve is a long-term project and building sustainability and success,” Taylor, 51, said.
“Our ambition has always been to be at the top and we have achieved that.
“It's taken a lot of effort from a lot of people behind the scenes. The players really understand what we're trying to do and what we're trying to achieve.”
Taylor managed 131 games for City, winning 97 of them.
City host Chelsea in the Women's League Cup semi-final on Thursday, before facing Tottenham in the FA Cup quarter-final on Sunday.

Taylor faced harsh criticism last season after a poor start to the season and a tumultuous summer that saw several key players leave.
He asked for time and patience as the team went through a period of transition, and despite the reservations of many outside the club, City gave it to him.
That faith in Taylor paid off as City continued their form in the 2023-24 season, playing their best football in the WSL and showing their identity under his leadership.
They stand to challenge Chelsea for the WSL title and their 1-0 win over Chelsea last month will no doubt help Taylor's case in new contract negotiations, and rightly so.
The new three-year deal is a statement by City that they believe in Taylor's ability to win more silver medals at a club with the resources to achieve more than they have.
It's been eight years since he last won a WSL title, and Taylor's main goal will be to end that wait. Until that happens, he will still have to face his critics.
