Schmeichel's New Gig: Full-Time Uber Driver for Kids
30 Sep
Summary
- Kasper Schmeichel retired due to shoulder surgery and medical advice.
- He now works as a 'full-time Uber driver' for his three children.
- Schmeichel is considering coaching or management roles in football.
Kasper Schmeichel's professional playing career concluded last season following medical advice for shoulder operations. The former Celtic goalkeeper, who played through pain, made the difficult decision to retire after an injury during a Europa League match.
He has since embraced a new, unexpected chapter, humorously describing himself as a 'full-time Uber driver' for his three children. Speaking at the EFC General Assembly in Copenhagen, Schmeichel acknowledged the strange transition but is actively adjusting.
While undertaking courses and TV work, Schmeichel emphasizes that his competitive drive remains. He is exploring future opportunities in football, including coaching and management, stating that the 'fire is still burning quite strongly.'
