TURIN, Italy (April 22, 1999 1:08 p.m. EDT http://www.sportserver.com) - Zinedine Zidane will remain with Juventus for at least another season, the club's director general Luciano Moggi said Thursday, scotching rumors of the midfielder's departure.

Zidane had expressed doubts about his future at the club before their European Cup defeat to Manchester United, while the Turin press called for him to besold off after his disappointing performance against Alex Ferguson's side.

But Moggi insisted: "Zidane is staying with Juventus.

"I have spoken to him again today and he is very happy to stay with us and have great season with us next season."

Zidane, who only signed a new contract last year, had been linked earlier in the week with a move to Spain, reportedly to please his wife, who is of Spanish origin.
