Gary Bowyer has put pen to paper on a new two-year contract with Bradford City, the League One club have confirmed.
Bowyer, the former Blackburn and Blackpool boss, only arrived at Valley Parade in March, with his new deal coming less than a month after his appointment as Bantams manager.
He has guided League One’s bottom club to just a single victory from five matches, winning his debut in the dugout against Peterborough but losing each of the four following fixtures.
Bradford currently sit last place in League One, six points from safety with six matches to go.
Bowyer has admitted he is already planning for the summer, regardless of whether Bradford secure their status in the third division or end up relegated to League Two.
“I am absolutely delighted to have everything over the line,†he said. “This is a great football club and I have enjoyed every single second since arriving.
