FORMER Nice goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel's ex-boss Florent Ghisolfi\u00a0has opened up on terminating his contract on deadline day.<\/p>\n
The 36-year-old managed to sign for Belgian side RSC Anderlecht right before the transfer window closed. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Leicester legend was left unemployed after he and\u00a0Nice agreed to rip up his contract\u00a0with hours remaining of the transfer window.<\/p>\n
And it did not take him long to find a new club as Anderlecht have signed\u00a0Schmeichel\u00a0on a one-year contract that will see him at the club until June 2024.<\/p>\n
Schmeichel had been left out of the matchday squad for Nice in every game so far this season and it was clear his future no longer lay with The Eaglets.<\/p>\n
The Danish shot-stopper joined the Ligue 1 side last season and made 36 appearances, keeping clean sheets in 11 of them.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Nice's sporting director Ghisolfi has revealed to Nice Matin why the shot-stopper left the French giants.<\/p>\n
He said: "He looked for a club for a long time. But the idea of terminating the contract had not crossed mind.<\/p>\n
"Things accelerated the evening before the end of the transfer window.<\/p>\n
"We decided to release him so that he could remain a free player on the market and commit elsewhere.<\/p>\n
