Austrian football club LASK has secured its successful head coach, Dietmar Kühbauer, with a contract extension that will keep him at the helm until the summer of 2029. The announcement came on Tuesday, a day before the team's crucial Champions League playoff first leg against Celtic Glasgow.

Under his leadership, LASK achieved a remarkable feat, winning both the Austrian Cup and the league championship in a sensational season. This success has cemented Kühbauer's status as a highly valued coach for the Linz-based club.

The long-term commitment signals stability and ambition from LASK, as they aim to build on their recent triumphs with Kühbauer continuing to guide the team's strategy and development.
