Former Nigeria gaffer Lars Lagerback has extended his contract with the National Team of Iceland for an additional two years.<br /><br />The Swede took over the reins of the tiny European nation in October 2011, and led them to the World Cup play - offs where they lost 2 - 0 to Croatia.<br /><br />The new deal will see Lagerback take charge of Iceland for the Euro 2016 qualifiers while his assistant Heimir Hallgr&iacute;msson will succeed him for the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.<br /><br />&ldquo;I expect to quit after this contract but would like to finish by making it to the EURO finals, even though we are in a difficult group since we will most likely be in the fifth pot of seeds,&rdquo; Lagerback said to the official website of UEFA.<br /><br />Photo Credit : soccerphase.com <br />
