Slovakia coach Vladimir Weiss signed on Tuesday an extension to his contract which keeps him in charge until 2014.
"I had other offers from abroad but I prefer working with the Slovak football association," Weiss said.
Weiss, who took charge of the national team in 2008, said his priorities were to prepare the team for the Euro 2012 and World Cup 2014 tournaments.
"The team is relatively young but experienced. The World Cup showed them new possibilities," the 45-year-old added.
A World Cup newcomer, the Slovak team beat defending champions Italy 3-2 in the group stage to advance to the last 16 before losing to the Netherlands.
