Cologne coach Peter Stoger has signed a new four-year contract.
Former Austria international Stoger took charge of the club in 2013 and won promotion to the Bundesliga at the end of his first season in charge.
The Billy Goats secured top-flight survival last term and are in mid-table at the halfway point of the current campaign. The club have now tied the 49-year-old into a new contract until 2020.
