A day before heading to Australia with the Japan Olympic team, Japan manager Philippe Troussier renewed his contract with the Japan Football Association on Friday at the JFA's headquarters in Tokyo.
Troussier's new contract runs from Nov. 1 through to the end of the 2002 World Cup.
The financial terms were not disclosed but it is presumed his annual salary will be 100 million yen, with a bonus to be paid separately depending on the results in tournaments.
"I feel honored to find that the JFA has big trust in me. I know I have a lot responsibility and I'll make my best effort to carry out the mission I have been given," Troussier said, after inking his new contract in a ceremony before the media.
