Laurent Blanc signs new contract at Paris Saint-Germain

Paris Saint-Germain have announced that coach Laurent Blanc has signed a new one-year contract extension which will keep the Frenchman at the Parc des Princes until 2016.

Blanc's future had been in doubt following PSG's Champions League quarter-final exit at the hands of Chelsea last month, but he has since guided the club to a Ligue 1 and Coupe de la Ligue double.

Club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi told reporters: "It is perfectly justified to show our confidence in Laurent Blanc.

"We are very happy with his result this season, as well as the very attractive football the team has played.

"We are convinced we will win a lot more trophies together."

Blanc also led Bordeaux to the league title in 2009.
