After leading Juventus to their 28th league title in his first season in charge, coach Antonio Conte has been rewarded with a two-year contract extension that will tie him to the Bianconeri until 2015.
The 42-year-old, who spent 13 seasons at Juventus as a midfielder, was appointed last summer and wasted no time in bringing success back to his former club, who became the first Serie A side to remain unbeaten throughout an entire league campaign since 1991/92.
Having clinched the Scudetto on the penultimate day of the season, the Vecchia Signora also came close to completing the domestic double but fell at the final hurdle when losing 2-0 against SSC Napoli in last Sunday's Coppa Italia final.
The Italian champions will appear in the group stage of next season's UEFA Champions League.
