DA has always struck me as an ambitious man. Todays great news should prove that he has the upmost trust in Brent to supply him the tools to take both himself and the club to the next level. A good day for the club.
Excellent news!!
Not too surprised, as there is, obviously, a great rapport between James Brent and Derek Adams.

I think Argyle are a great fit for DA’s personality because….. a) He is a control freak but here he is given a budget and then left to get on with it with no interference at all from above ……b) he knows he will be given time & backing if things don’t go well (if he doubted it before then last season proved that)……. c) Here he is more than ‘coach’ and in many ways more than just a football manager – he is more like a ‘project manager’ who has his say all aspects of the club’s development ….. d) He knows there is plenty of potential for development on and off the pitch, so he can claim (quite rightly) the transformation of a club not just the assembly of a winning team.
If you look around the football world there really aren’t many clubs who tick those boxes as I’m sure he well knows. Maybe I’m being naïve but I don’t think it will be money or glamour that will entice him to leave but only the prospect of another ‘project’ to build something bigger when he feels he’s taken us as far as he can…….. or he’ll quit over a point of principle. Hopefully neither will happen for a long time yet.

Of course, signing a new deal does not necessarily keep Adams here if other clubs are interested in appointing him. But his new deal is a sign that rival clubs would have to offer something fairly significant to tempt him away this coming season.

August 2016, to keep him here until 2020.
I see the 3 backroom deals have been announced as 2 years, also until 2020.
Not announcing the length on the new deal for Derek will leave speculation open as to whether he's extended or re-negotiated as has already been mentioned. If I had to guess: I'd assume extension is most likely, hopefully until 2022.

Is it possible there is a mistake in the first story, why would DA sign another contract when he already has a 4 year contract, the second story https://www.pafc.co.uk/news/2018/may/a-life-in-green/ only talks about Wotton, Nance and Wilmot, no mention of DA.
He signed a 4 year deal in August 2016.
As his coaching staff now have 2 year deals, it wouldn't surprise me if Adams has a new 2 year deal also, especially as we survived in Div 1.
Simply put, a pay rise, although I expect there may be other clauses in the contract put in by both parties.
