“I will give everything I have and do all I can to bring our supporters exciting, entertaining and winning football,” said the Northern Irishman.
“The club has been in magnificent shape in recent years and has collected silverware regularly during this time.
“My objective now, of course, is to continue this work, to keep us at the top and again make our mark in Europe.”
