Hibernian boss Tony Mowbray and assistant manager Mark Venus have put pen to paper on new 12-month rolling contracts at Easter Road.
Mowbray is regularly linked with jobs in England, but was delighted to have the chance to demonstrate his commitment to Hibs.
He told the club's official website: "We all witnessed the intense press speculation over the summer regarding my future at the club and while I've always been very open regarding my long-term goals, I was keen to remove that uncertainty and allow us all at the club to move forward and realise our ambitions together.
"I genuinely believe Hibernian Football Club is moving into an exciting era.
"Our talented players have all signed long-term contracts; we are progressing with the plans to establish a dedicated training facility at East Mains and we've also further strengthened the coaching staff with the addition of Mark Proctor.
"I'm also delighted that Mark Venus agreed to extend his contract, so that Mark and I along with John Park and everyone in the football coaching team, including fitness and goalkeeping coaches can move forward together as a team and realise our ambitions together."
Mowbray took charge at Easter Road in May 2004 and has since guide Hibs to third and fourth place finishes in the SPL.
