The French and Real Madrid star Zinedine Zidane will quit playing after this year's World Cup finals in Germany and he also stated that he will not play with his club for another year.
"I didn't make this decision overnight. It's one I've mulled over for a long time..." Zinedine Zidane told a news conference in Madrid.
Zinedine Zidane helped France win their first World Cup title after he scored twice against Brazil ending the result 3-0. Two years later, he led France to the European Championship and was voted the country's most popular personality in a poll by newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche.
Zidan and Real Madrid club are working on a plan which would see him remain at the club to coach children.

Zidane, despite the headbutt, you are the greatest player of all time. Do not retire. Even Maradona and Pele retired at 37, your only 34. In know for a fact that you could lead France again in 2010. Dont retire, your the best!
Zee-Zee, you've made France/Africa proud at the just concluded world cup, Germany 06. I am right behind you now and always with or without the headbutt - keep up the good work and regards to your family/friends.
