Delighted chief executive Ronan Seery commented: "It's great news for the club. Dermot has proved himself as one of the best managers in the game and this gives us great continuity going forward.
"We're looking to establish the club as a force in eircom League soccer and with Dermot as manager, we have the ideal individual to do so."
Keely sees a bright future for the club: "I believe Dublin City has huge potential and we have the basis of a solid squad.
"I have an excellent chief executive to work with and I'm looking forward to the new season. We have lots of work to do, but we'll be ready for the challenge."
