Highly rated attacker Roy Makaay has expressed his desire to stay at Rotterdam giants Feyenoord until the end of his career. The 33-year-old joined Feyenoord from German outfit Bayern Munich in 2007.
"My current Feyenoord deal expires in 2010 and I'm not planning to leave the club after one bad season. That's not my personality. I didn't return to Holland to move abroad again after only two years," said Makaay to AD/Sportwereld.
Looking ahead to the management changes in the new season, Makaay explained that incoming coach Mario Been - who takes over in summer from caretaker Leon Vlemmings - is set to do a fine job.
"I'm very happy at Feyenoord and my family is loving life in Rotterdam. I'm really eager to train under Mario Been. I'm a Vitesse fan, but he's doing a good job at their rivals NEC," he said.
"I hear all kinds of positive things about him and it's a good thing that things will be more calm at Feyenoord again."
The experienced striker also spoke about Feyenoord's abysmal season so far, one that's seen them garner just 24 points in 23 games.
"I disliked the play-offs from the beginning, but it might turn out to be our last chance to save this season. We'll do our utmost to qualify and qualify for UEFA Cup football," he concluded.
