The 36-year-old mutually agreed to terminate his contract with the club.

A short club statement on Twitter read: “#OGCNice and @kschmeichel1 have decided by mutual consent to terminate the contract of the Danish international.
“The club wishes him every success for the rest of his career.”
The 36-year-old only joined Nice last season, but fell out of favour towards the end of the season.
The French outfit have signed Marcin Bulka from PSG and are said to view the Polish goalkeeper as their new number one.
Schmeichel has been left out of the matchday squad for Nice in every game so far this season and it is clear his future no longer lies with The Eaglets.
The Danish shot-stopper made 36 Ligue 1 appearances last season, keeping clean sheets in 11 of them.
But it wasn’t enough for the former Leicester City man to keep his place between the sticks.
Schmeichel left Leicester last summer after an astounding 479 appearances for the Foxes.

His time with the club saw him win the Premier League, FA Cup and a Community Shield.
But despite his impressive CV it’s not known if there are any clubs lining up to take him off Nice’s hands.
Last season’s ninth place finishers will have their work cut out if they’re to shift Schmeichel out of the door before the deadline slams shut.
The Denmark international was linked with a move to Chelsea earlier in the window, but that now feels unlikely with The Blues adding both Robert Sanchez and Djordje Petrovic to their ranks.
