Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes extends his contract until 2020
Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes and his assistant Tony Docherty have signed contract extensions at Pittdorie until 2020.
McInnes, who rejected an approach from Sunderland in June, took over from Craig Brown in 2013, helping the club win the League Cup the following year.
McInnes, whose previous contract ran until 2019, told the club website: "We're delighted to extend our contracts and both Tony and I are looking forward to the season ahead.
"We've still a lot to do both on and off the pitch and as I've mentioned on several occasions I want our tenure here with Aberdeen to be remembered fondly as a successful period and one where we were winning trophies.
"I am committed to trying to bring more success to the club and with the excellent squad of players we have and the backing of our brilliant supporters, it is important we keep driving forward both on and off the pitch and maximise our full potential as a club."
Aberdeen have finished runners-up to Celtic in the league for the past three seasons and were losing finalists to Brendan Rodgers' all-conquering side in the Scottish Cup and League Cup this year.
Chairman Stewart Milne added: "I mentioned recently that Derek and Tony had demonstrated their loyalty to and ambitions for the club when they elected to remain and this contract extension reaffirms that.
"Continuity will be crucial in the weeks and months to come as we look to enjoy another successful campaign on the park and begin the process of delivering our new training and community facilities and the new stadium."
