Carlos Carvalhal to stay at Sheffield Wednesday following talks

Carlos Carvalhal has agreed to stay on at Hillsborough next season

Carlos Carvalhal has reached an agreement with Sheffield Wednesday to stay on as head coach next season.

Carvalhal, whose current contract expires this summer, had kept tight-lipped about his future following Wednesday's semi-final exit from the Sky Bet Championship play-offs.

The Portuguese held talks with chairman Dejphon Chansiri on Monday and has agreed to remain in charge for the 2017/18 season and beyond.

The Owls confirmed the new deal on their official website on Tuesday night butdid not disclose the length of his contract.

Carvalhal's backroom staff have also extended their stay at the club.

After the penalty shootout loss to Huddersfield, Carvalhal said: "I don't talk in this moment. In this moment, I want to relax a little and I will sit with the chairman. That's not a problem, I am not worried about my future."

Wednesday have missed out in the Championship play-offs for the last two seasons after suffering defeat to Hull City in last year's final.
