Antonio Conte pleased with new Juventus contract

Juventus boss Antonio Conte has said that he is pleased to have signed a new contract at the club.

The Italian, who won the Scudetto last season in his first in charge in Turin, will now remain at the club until 2015 while his original contract was scheduled to expire at the end of next season.

"I am pleased with what's happened," he told the club's official website.

"I thank [president] Andrea Agnelli for this token of faith that pushes me to do even better than what we have done until now.

"It's been a fantastic season. Even though we did not have the tag of favourites, we were able to win the Scudetto."

Conte led the club through an unbeaten league campaign this season.
