Seamus Coleman admits Roberto Martinez's new Everton deal convinced him to sign his contract.
Martinez himself penned a fresh contract in early June.
Asked how important a factor the Spaniard had been in his decision to extend his stay on Merseyside, Coleman said: "Massive. I think a lot of people will realise that last year he had a big part to play [in my form].
"The previous manager was brilliant with me and Roberto's come in and believed in me as well. He's been brilliant for me, and it was a big reason to sign - how respected he is by all the players.
"He is the type of manager who gives you confidence every week and I really enjoyed the confidence he was giving me last season. It allowed me to show my best performances really.
"But I'm not reflecting too much on last season. I'm more thinking about this season coming up now and getting ready to go again and trying to do as well again."
