西班牙拉科鲁尼亚队主教练卡帕罗斯12月13日同俱乐部就续约一事达成协议，根据新合同卡帕罗斯在拉科鲁尼亚队的执教时间将延长到2008年。 　

    据路透社12月13日报道，本赛季，卡帕罗斯在从拉科鲁尼亚队老教练伊鲁埃塔手中接过“教鞭”时，俱乐部同他只签订1年的执教合同。然而，从新赛季一开始，现年50岁的卡帕罗斯就以出色的工作能力率领拉科鲁尼亚队取得不俗战绩，让球队在西甲联赛中获得“新生”。

    卡帕罗斯的成功之处在于他非常善于从预备队中发掘年轻球员以补充到球队一线，同时，在帮助经验丰富的老队员焕发青春方面，他也有自己的独到之处。一些以前在比赛中已经有些找不到感觉的老队员如穆尼蒂斯和胡安马等，如今在卡帕罗斯的执教下已经重新成为球队的核心。所有这一切都促使俱乐部主席伦多里诺下决心给予主教练卡帕罗斯以更大的信任，并帮助他成为球队长远发展目标的核心人物。

    目前，拉科鲁尼亚队在西甲联赛15场比赛中只输了3场，在联赛积分榜上暂列第5，仅比皇马落后2分。

    Deportivo Coruna coach Joaquin Caparros has extended his contract with the Primera Liga side until July 2008, the club said on Tuesday.

    Caparros originally signed a one-year-deal in the close season after the club had parted company with long-serving coach Javier Irureta.

    The 50-year-old former Sevilla boss has made an impressive start with his new club and given the squad a new lease of life with his extrovert and demanding coaching methods.

    His skill in bringing through youngsters from the reserve teams and his success in revitalising more experienced players like winger Pedro Munitis and centre-back Juanma persuaded club president Augusto Cesar Lendoiro to make Caparros the centre of a long-term project.

    Depor are fifth in the league, two points adrift of Real Madrid and have lost just three of their 15 games this season.
