Marcelo Bielsa has agreed a new contract to coach Chile until the 2015 Copa America tournament.

"We have reached a complete agreement which was ratified unanimously by the board," said Mayne-Nicholls.

Mayne-Nicholls added: "We can say with certainty that we will have Marcelo for several more years, heading the team selection, and also engaging in the under-20, carrying on work in the national football federation, maintaining constant communication with the community through lectures and other activities."
