MILAN - All-time club top scorer Alessandro
Del Piero signed a one-year contract extension with Juventus
until June 2012 on Thursday.
The 36-year-old talisman, who has played at the twice
European Cup winners since 1993, had been linked in the media
with a move to Major League Soccer in the United States but has
decided to stay with his beloved Juve for one more season.
A club statement said he signed the contract with president
Andrea Agnelli at Juve's as yet unnamed new stadium which is due
to open in August.
Once mighty Juve lie seventh in Serie A this season, the
same disappointing position they finished in last term.
