Former Leeds United man reveals he regretted Whites move just three weeks after arrival

Speaking on goalkeeper Joe Hart’s YouTube show Gloved (quotes via Leeds Live), Leicester City ‘keeper Kasper Schmeichel has revealed he regretted joining the Elland Road club just three weeks after making the move from Notts County.

Danish international goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel spent just one season with Leeds United, joining from Notts County on a free transfer in the summer of 2010, leaving to join Sven Goran Eriksson at Leicester City a year later.

He played 40 times for the Whites in his short stint at Elland Road, keeping 10 clean sheets in the process and now, he has come out to speak about his time with the club. Schmeichel has said it took him just three weeks for him to regret his decision to join Leeds United, adding that he never felt like then manager Simon Grayson had any confidence in him. He said:

“I remember about three weeks after joining Leeds thinking, ‘What have I done?!’ It was just the wrong club for me at that time. It was very clear, very early on that it was the wrong club for me.

“It was a club where I was not accepted and with my father’s history, it was evident among the fans that they did not approve of that. I just didn’t feel welcome at all at the club, by the whole club, that’s the manager [Simon Grayson] as well. He didn’t give me any kind of confidence.

“I had a decent season, I thought. I didn’t set the world alight but I had a solid enough season, but I did not enjoy my time there at all. It was a really bad time.

“Then I was at home in Denmark (for the summer). Sven called me and said: ‘Do you want to come to Leicester?’ I was like: ‘Yes, get me away.’”
