Peter Schmeichel - the Great Dane -  has announced he is ready to become a manager, but not for

The former Manchester United and Manchester City goalkeeper - honored several times for his impressing career - is ready to step into the limelight again, as a manager. The goalkeeper has earlier been the owner of his childhood club Hvidovre, from which he withdraw in 2002, and has since then been a BBC and SkySport expert as well as host on Danish television.

As soon as in 2007, Schmeichel tried to buy his way into the Danish club Brondby, which has been and is in a serious economic crisis. However, this never happened and instead the Dane is going for a manager job he revealed on twitter.

However, we shouldn't expect to see Schmeichel in the Premier League in the near future. On twitter,  he revealed that we was looking to apply for several jobs this summer but that he knew it would be hard to become a manager in the Premier League. Instead, he is aiming for the lower divisions. However, should Alex Ferguson offer a job as an assistant manager, the Dane wouldn't hesitate to accept the offer.

It is going to be interesting to see who will hire the former Danish national. He clearly is a big name, not only in British football, but all over the world. That said, Schmeichel does not have any coach or manager license why the opportunities might be few. Next stop could well be a Danish Superliga club for the Danish legend.

A very unlikely transfer has been rumoured by the Daily Star today.

According to the tabloid, Leicester's Danish goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel is a target for Real Madrid. José Mourinho has instructed his goalkeeping coach to find alternatives to the Spanish keeper Iker Casillas.

However, the Spanish club is also keeping an eye on Real Zaragoza's Roberto, 26, and Osasuna's Andres Fernandez,25.

Even though, Schmeichel has a past in Manchester City, Notts County and Leeds United, as well as a number of Danish youth national matches he has not achieved the same success as his father.

Peter Schmeichel was the safety man in Manchester United for eight years playing 292 matches and scoring three goals. Furthermore, he won the Premier League five times, the League Cup once, the FA Cup three times and the Champions League once. His Denmark career gave him 129 matches and one goal.

His son, Kasper, has been called up for the Danish national team but is still missing his debut. He was voted Leicester's player of the season last campaign, but still hasn't won any trophies.

Rumours also sends Iker Casillas to English football, should Mourinho bring in a new goalkeeper.
