Everton's director of football Marcel Brands has signed a three-year contract extension.
The Dutchman - who arrived at Goodison Park in June 2018 and joined the club's board the following January - believes progress is being made at the club.
Brands says he is delighted to continue working with such a 'talented manager' and insists he has an important summer ahead in supporting Carlo Ancelotti's plans.
'Everton is a very special football club and a club with clear and exciting ambitions,' he said.
'We are making good progress and I believe we have everything in place for us to be successful.
