Two-time Europa League-winning coach Unai Emery has committed his future to Sevilla until 2017.
The 43-year-old, who last month secured a second straight European title when Sevilla beat Dnipro in Warsaw, was reportedly the number-one candidate to replace Sam Allardyce at West Ham but he has instead opted to oversee the Andalusians' tilt at the Champions League.
A statement published on Sevilla's official website on Friday read: "Unai Emery has extended his contract with Sevilla for another season, thus prolonging his link with the Nervion club until 2017.
"The coach has committed his future to the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan, where he has achieved his greatest successes, winning the Europa League in both 2014 and 2015."
Emery - previously employed by Spartak Moscow and before them Valencia - had also been linked to the vacancy at Serie A club Napoli that remains open following Rafael Benitez's departure for Real Madrid.
Since arriving at Sevilla in January 2013 he has recorded two fifth-placed finishes in the Primera Division.
The Hondarribia-born tactician has taken charge of 142 games from the Rojiblanco dugout, a figure only surpassed by previous Sevilla bosses Ramon Encinas (179), Manolo Cardo (188) and Joaquin Caparros (226).
