Samir Handanovic

Abu Bader · Jul 11, 2023

Thank you Samir. Best inter keeper I've seen and I've been fan for nearly 3 decades now.

RickyMaravilla'sRightFoot · Jul 11, 2023

Genuinely one of the best keepers in serie A history, I don’t know how you could argue otherwise. Onana is a very modern GK almost at the peak of his powers, it’s hard to directly compare them in their current state. I certainly wouldn’t rate Onana’s season better than Handa’s best seasons. Onana still has a ways to go to reach the levels Handa sustained for 10+ years.

No proper goodbye from the club?

If they fuck up bringing another keeper, it will be "welcome back for another year".

It's over I guess. Would have wanted him to be the second goalie.

Holy shit, I can't believe it, this is actually happening.

uny_arturo · Jul 12, 2023

Best of both worlds. Won 5 trophies, including a Serie A title, and respected by everyone who has played with him.

Age isn't on his side but Samir left on a high. Thank you for everything.

Finally official, shame about the last two seasons but was great before that. Also all banter era players gone right? Everyone is now after 2018 in this team?

Grande Batmanovic. I still remember your great save vs Atalanta with Beji cap.

_OC_ · Jul 12, 2023

It’s Zenga, then Handa, and then you can continue the list to your liking.

Top ten in caps all time for the club, seventh all time Serie A caps, second most appearances as a foreigner in the league, most penalty saves of all time and so on and so on.

We’re losing a massive player, and a great servant.

Thanks Handa. Absolute legend

Thank you Samir, we will never forget you

Seems Moratta had a plan to clear the team from all banter era players.

Grande Handa!

The Slovenia international will be 39 on Friday and won the Serie A title, two editions of the Coppa Italia and two Italian Supercups for the Nerazzurri, all of those trophies in the last three years.

To confirm Handanovic’s exit, the club released a statement thanking the captain for his 11 years of service at San Siro, which saw him make 455 competitive appearances for the club:

“A point of reference, a leader in the changing room, a courageous captain. Samir Handanovic has been all of these things in the eleven seasons he’s defended the Nerazzurri goal.

“He joined the Club on 9 July 2012 and, from the very first minute, displayed his exceptional technical qualities and charisma, going on to become one of the best goalkeepers in Inter’s history.

“The 166 clean sheets he kept in 455 matches are proof of this. Thanks to these extraordinary numbers, Samir drew level with Ivan Ramiro Cordoba (455) in tenth place in the all-time Nerazzurri appearance ranking across all competitions.

“It was a historic and prestigious achievement for the Slovenian shot-stopper, who sits second in terms of number of appearances made by foreign-born players in Serie A history. Indeed, only Javier Zanetti (615 matches, all of which were with Inter) is ahead of him in this particular list. Furthermore, he holds the record for the number of penalty saves in the Italian top flight: 32. No one in Serie A history has matched this total.

“He’s had an extraordinary career, winning the 2020/21 Scudetto, the Coppa Italia twice and the Supercoppa Italiana on two occasions in Nerazzurri colours.

“The Inter fans and all of the Nerazzurri family wish Handanovic all the best and appreciate everything he’s done. Thank you, Samir!”

Grazie Samir!

Are you saying Handa was better than JC?

RickyMaravilla'sRightFoot · Jul 12, 2023

I don't wanna distract from outpouring of Handa love, but I guess this means we've more or less sorted the GK situation. I would expect some moves to be made soon.

Julio's peak was better than Handa's peak, but Handa had great longevity and was very steady for his first 8 seasons.

It's tragic that the only Scudetto trophy ceremony occurred in a mostly empty Meazza.

Samir Handanovic

Rate the player

10 - Legend. One of the absolute best players in the history of the game (think Meazza, Matthäus)

9 - Icon. One of the best players in club history, and one of the best players in the world

8 - Great. A player of high quality that adds a lot to the team, one of the best in the league

7 - Good. A valuble asset to the team, one of the 10-15 best in his position in the league

6 - Above average. Useful player, but will never be a key player for a team

5 - Average. Completely average player. Does his job, but doesn't stand out

4 - Below average. Not a disaster, but would be better if we didn't sign him in the first place

3 - Anonymous. Will never be remembered due to the fact nobody expected anything from him

2 - Useless. Adds nothing of value, detrimental to the team when on the pitch

1 - Infamous. Awful signing, will go down in history as one of the shittiest Inter players ever
