Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel admitted that resigning from Manchester City was the best decision he had ever made in the history of his career.

Schmeichel believes that leaving the City and Premier League in 2009 to join Notts County in League Two helped him and that this move made his career flourish even more.

The Dane athlete is currently grooming for his stay in the Premier League with Leicester, who will match up against Everton at home on Saturday. Schmeichel says that he has no regrets about leaving City despite the successes of the club in the recent years.

"It was the best thing I've ever done. The best decision I ever made," said Schmeichel.

"I did not play for Manchester City and I had no prospects to play, so there was no reason to stay.

"I came to Notts County and I loved being there. It was great to play a full season and win the League Two championship.

"Leeds was not as good an experience, but then I came to Leicester, and it has only been positive.

"I signed a four-year contract with Leicester this summer so my future for the next years is reasonably set.

"My ambition right now is continue to play and hopefully stay in the Premier League."

The 29-year-old believes that he will be able to surface from the shadows of his dad Peter who was once a Manchester United and Denmark legend. Schmeichel wants to make a significant impact in his career and be someone-not just anybody-in the world of football.

"That is something I have lived with my whole life," added Schmeichel. "There are a lot of people who like to talk about it but it is not something that means a lot to me.

"The only thing I do is to try to play my own game and be myself.

"There is no one with higher expectations of me than myself. I cannot control other's expectations."
