Sharon Brittan has expressed her delight at agreeing a new three-year deal with manager Ian Evatt.
Wanderers announced the contract this morning as they prepare for their final game of the regular season at Bristol Rovers, which will be followed by the play-offs.
Brittan brought Evatt and his backroom from Barrow in the summer of 2020 with the immediate aim of getting out of League Two. But the club now has ambitions of playing Championship football next season and has also lifted their first Wembley silverware in 34 years in the Papa Johns Trophy.
"On July 1, 2020, one of the most important appointments in the club’s distinguished history was made when Ian Evatt agreed to be a part of our journey,” Brittan said.
"In the three years that have since passed, Bolton Wanderers has been revitalised beyond all recognition thanks to the leadership, passion and belief Ian has instilled across all aspects of the football club.
"The hard work he and the other members of staff have done in bringing back the pride in Bolton Wanderers has enabled all of us to cast aside the shadows of the past and look ahead to days of blue skies and beautiful sunshine.
"That long-held dream of once again winning silverware, which is so important to our club, was realised at the beginning of April and we all believe that we can get to Wembley once again later this month after a successful league campaign saw us seal our play-off place with a game to spare.
"Each day under Ian's management we have progressed and never looked back, and it is a direction our journey will continue to travel in whilst he is at the helm.
"The faith and trust I have in him as a person, not just as an employee, is unquestionable and is matched by his own commitment and ambition to bring sustained success to Bolton Wanderers and to the town and community.
"Therefore, I am thrilled that Ian has signed a new contract to reaffirm that commitment."
