Coach Capello persuades Carlos to stay at Real

BRAZILIAN defender Roberto Carlos has decided to stay at Spanish club Real Madrid until his contract finishes, ending speculation about his future.

The Brazilian has one season left on his deal at Real with the option of another depending on the number of games he plays next season.

“The left back, who is at the pre-season training camp in Austria, will complete his contract with the side,” Real said in a statement on their website issued yesterday.
