Czech coach Chovanec extends contract to 2002

PRAGUE, April 25 (Reuters) - Czech Republic coach Jozef Chovanec has signed a new contract with the national team which takes him up to the 2002 World Cup, the CTK news agency said on Tuesday.

Slovak-born Chovanec, 40, replaced Dusan Uhrin at the beginning of 1998 after the Euro 1996 runners-up failed to qualify for that year's World Cup.

The Czechs have won 18 and drawn three of their 24 games under Chovanec including an impressive 10 consecutive victories in qualifiers for this year's European championships.
