The New York Red Bulls announced today that they have signed head coach Mike Petke to a new contract. Per team regulations, specific terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Born and raised in Long Island, Petke became head coach for New York in January 2013. In his first year, the 2013 MLS Coach of the Year finalist guided the Red Bulls to a League-best 59 points off a 17-9-8 record, helping the club clinch its first-ever MLS Supporters' Shield.

"Mike is a passionate coach with great potential and this improved contract is the club's way of recognizing last season's Supporters' Shield success," said Red Bulls Sporting Director Andy Roxburgh. "In the highly competitive MLS, winning the regular season title last year was a great achievement and provides Mike and the club with a good platform to build on."

"I am pleased to reach a new deal with my hometown club," Petke said. "We have enjoyed success during my short time as head coach and all of the credit goes to our players, staff and most importantly, our supporters. While winning the Supporters' Shield was a major achievement for our club last year, my overall goal of building a team with a long-term identity that our fans can be proud of remains unchanged. I look forward to continuing this mission in the 2014 season and beyond."
