The Kildare County Board have announced that Kieran McGeeney is to remain as manager of the senior football team for another three years.
McGeeney guided the Lilywhites to the All-Ireland semi-final last month, where they narrowly lost out to Down in a thrilling encounter.
Despite a shaky start to his managerial career, McGeeney has been a huge success story in his three years in charge and has transformed the Leinster side into one of the strongest in the country.
A statement on the Kildare GAA website read:
“County board chairman Pádraig Ashe has just confirmed that Kieran McGeeney has agreed to a new three-year deal taking him up until the end of the 2013 season.
“The deal is subject to ratification at the October county board meeting.â€
