Matos, 38, was appointed on a deal running until 2029 last November.
But Swansea’s progress since Matos took charge has convinced the club’s hierarchy to hand the Portuguese improved terms.
“From the moment I arrived here, I have sensed how powerful the connection between Swansea City and the fans and community is,” mentioned Matos.
“This is something very special, it is a feeling myself and the players love, and the desire to keep building that and sharing great moments together is one of the key motivations in extending my contract with the club.”
Chief executive Tom Gorringe mentioned “stability and consistency of vision” were important at what he called an “exciting time for the football club”.
“Vitor made a considerable impact following his appointment in November of last year and we are excited about the direction in which he is taking Swansea City,” Gorringe added.
“This new deal is a reflection of our belief in the work he and his team have done since joining us, and what we believe we can accomplish together under Vitor’s stewardship.”
