Republic of Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni has agreed a contract extension which will run until the 2014 World Cup.

The Football Association of Ireland has rewarded the Italian coach for his recent success in securing the Republic's place at next northern summer's Euro 2012 finals following victory over Estonia in its qualification play-off.

"I am very happy to continue my job with the FAI," said Trapattoni, whose assistant Marco Tardelli has also signed a new deal.
