Del Piero to stay with Juventus until 2011

TURIN, Italy (AP) - Juventus captain Alessandro Del Piero has extended his contract with the Serie A club until 2011.

The striker's contract was due to run out in 2010, but a statement Friday on the club's Web site said that Del Piero had signed for an extra year.
"I am proud to have been with Juventus for all these years and I still want to write important pages of (its) history," Del Piero said.

The 34-year-old striker has been with Juventus since the 1993-94 season.
