Albert Costa will again captain Davis Cup winners Spain next year after their tennis federation (RFET) extended the former French Open champion's contract.

"Being captain is difficult but also an honour and given there are a lot of people ready for this task I am very grateful the confidence in me has been renewed," Costa said in a statement on the RFET website on Thursday.

Spain beat Czech Republic 5-0 in Barcelona this month to clinch a second straight Davis Cup triumph, and fourth overall. They begin their title defence against Roger Federer's Switzerland from March 5-7.
