Soccer: Zidane says he won't leave Real Madrid

French star midfielder Zinedine Zidane says he will end his playing days at Spanish club Real Madrid and is also considering when to quit the national side.

"Today I am sure that I will end my career at Real Madrid. It's the best thing I can do," Zidane said.

Last month Zidane, 31, said he was not certain if he would retire when his Real Madrid contract ended in 2005.

Zidane was this month named as Fifa's World Player of the Year, the third time he has won the award in six years.
