Paris, Dec 3 (IANS)

Arnaud Clement will stay on as the French Davis Cup captain after the French tennis federation (FFT) extended his contract by two years, while British top player Andy Murray's coach Amelie Mauresmo was named the Fed Cup captain.

"As usual, the players have been consulted beforehand," the FFT was quoted as saying by Xinhua.

France, under Clement, lost 1-3 to Switzerland in the final in Lille last month and will play Germany in the first round of the 2015 Davis Cup from March.
