Head coach Sean Payton has agreed a five-year contract extension with New Orleans Saints, according to multiple reports.
Payton, who has sporadically been linked with a move away from the Saints, is in the final year of his current $9m a year deal, and the terms of his new deal will keep him at the Superdome until 2024.
Payton, who took up the role in 2006, has led the team to one Super Bowl title and six other playoff appearances including a heartbreaking defeat in the divisional round against Minnesota two years ago, and the NFC title game against the LA Rams last year.
New Orleans kicked off their season with a hard-fought victory over Houston last week but suffered a first defeat of the campaign as the Rams again got the upper hand with a 27-9 victory in Los Angeles - news of Payton's deal broke just hours before kick-off.
Fox's Jay Glazer first reported the news, with NFL's Ian Rappoport following soon after and official confirmation from the Saints is expected to follow.
Payton heads into Sunday with a 119-74 record and a Super Bowl XLIV-winning ring after 31-17 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Miami.
He has led New Orleans to three 13-3 regular-season records, including in 2018, when the team's postseason run ended in controversial fashion in the NFC Championship Game.
