Ian Holloway has agreed a new long-term contract with Swindon until the end of the 2027-28 season.

The 62-year-old veteran manager made a return to the dugout when taking over at the Sky Bet League Two club at the end of October following the departure of Mark Kennedy.

Holloway - who took charge of his 1,000th competitive match before Christmas - has guided Swindon away from the relegation zone towards mid-table, with just one defeat in the past 12 league games.

"This club is much more than a project, the building of a club, the rebuilding of a club, and that's how I look at it, and I'm honoured to be trusted with that," Holloway said on the Swindon website.

In a joint-statement, Swindon chairman Clem Morfuni and chief executive Anthony Hall said: "Ian has revitalised the squad since his arrival back in October and moved the team in the correct direction.

"We acknowledge that our start to the season left us in an extremely difficult position, even when Ian took over.

"However, the progress we've made in the short term under his leadership proves that he is the correct manager to long-term build our future with."
