Matilda's coach Alen Stajcic has signed a four year contract extension.
Stajcic was appointed as interim manager in April 2014, but has impressed, earning a new deal which will keep him in charge until the end of 2020.
"Alen has done a remarkable job in achieving results with the Matildas, but his work on the team culture and player development has been equally significant," FFA CEO David Gallop said.
“He's grown into a true leader, who represents the ambition and dedication required to make Australia a top football nation.”
Stajcic said it was a momentous week for him personally and he is honoured to be coach of the Matildas for the next four years.
"I'm really honoured about the trust placed in me to continue with the Matildas," Stajcic said.
"We have come so far over the past two years, but there's no limit to what this group of players can achieve. The timing helps our focus for Rio."
The 42-year-old will be in charge for the Matilda's 2018 AFC Women's Cup campaign, the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup and the 2020 Olympic Games in Japan.
