Kasper’s dad cool on Puel

- BY DARREN LEWIS

PETER SCHMEICHEL has suggested his son Kasper could quit Leicester – because Claude Puel can’t get the best out of him.

Leicester sit 12th, having lost five of their last six games in the Premier League and FA Cup.

Puel has come under heavy criticism for his dour, defensivel­y-minded style of management, which is understood to have left the players uninspired.

Schmeichel, 32, is currently first choice at the King Power Stadium.

His father, the Manchester United legend, said: ”Leicester City are a really good football club.

“They’ve got good players – they just don’t have the manager who can get the best out of them.

“Once they get everything sorted out, and I leave it to you to interpret what that means, you’ll see Leicester maybe in fifth to eighth place, where they belong.

“Of course Kasper wants to challenge himself like any other player. But I don’t think he fancies Europe.

“I think he loves England too much, I think he likes the Premier League too much, so it’s a difficult one.”
