AC Milan captain Paolo Maldini will play on for at least one more season after deciding to postpone his retirement.
Maldini, who turns 40 later this month, had originally planned to hang up his boots at the end of the recently completed season.
However, he has now decided to prolong his 23-year career with the Rossoneri in which he has won seven Serie A titles and five European crowns.
"Paolo Maldini has extended his deal with Milan until 30 June 2009," confirmed a club statement.
"By the time he ends his career, he will have enjoyed 41 unique years of great success with one passion and one colour."
