Dundee midfielder Drey Wright says it's "brilliant news" that head coach Steven Pressley has agreed a new contract.
Pressley replaced Tony Docherty in June 2025 and guided Dundee to an eighth-place finish in the Scottish Premiership last season.
"That continuity will only be beneficial for the club," Wright said of Pressley's new deal.
"I said a number of times last year how much I enjoyed working under him and the messages coming across from other players was very similar. So I think it's only a good thing for the club, for him, for us as players.
"He's always been really honest with us, and with you guys, and from early on he made it quite simple. It was going to be a lot of hard work, it was going to take time, so if you take that at face value then it was proved right.
"But we were all obviously reaping the benefits of that, but towards the back end of the season, that progress that we went through as a team was really evident.
"In terms of football side of things, he's just calm. He's very calm, gets his point across when he needs to. That calmness gives everyone the platform to just relax and go about their business and get on with your job at the end of the day.
"And then, away from the pitch, he treats you like a human being rather than just a player that plays for him. I've had a few instances where I've needed to go and speak to him about certain things and he's always been absolutely fine with it."
