David Gray says he has "loads of improvement" to come after his transformation of Hibs was rewarded with a contract extension until summer 2028.
The 36-year-old takes Hibs into the post-split fixtures - starting with Saturday's trip to Pittodrie - in third place after turning around a torrid start to both the campaign and his managerial career.
"It's obviously brilliant to get that recognition," said Gray. "It doesn't happen by accident, it comes from sticking to your beliefs, and everyone sticking together during that difficult time.
"I learned a lot about myself this season, my first year in management, the challenges that come with that.
"There's still loads of improvement and learning to be done. I'm learning all the time, trying to improve all the time, but I'm delighted with where we are at this moment in time, and when the club come forward and look to try and think about the future, it's always nice to get that recognition."
Gray says the potential to be the first Hibs side in four years to finish third in the Premiership is a "huge incentive".
The Easter Road men are three points clear of Saturday's hosts Aberdeen as well as Dundee United.
"The way the fixtures have fallen it's going to be really exciting," Gray said of the final five games.
