In Sunday’s match at the iconic San Siro, Inter faced Cagliari, and the game ended in a 2-2 draw. More than the final result, what delighted the fans of the Nerazzurri was the fact that Samir Handanović visited the Milan stadium. The retired goalkeeper from Slovenia, accompanied by Javier Zanetti among others, stepped onto the San Siro pitch, where he shone in Inter’s goal for many years, and received a commemorative plaque or jersey with the number 455 – the number of matches he played for the Milanese club.
“For me, this is a very special day… I am grateful to Inter for all the years we spent together,” admitted the 39-year-old from Ljubljana, adding: “It was beautiful, although it wasn’t always easy. I admit, I’m touched. And that doesn’t happen to me very often… San Siro is a wonderful stadium, it remains the most beautiful in the world to me. And it is also home to the best fans – Inter fans. Playing here fulfilled my dreams.”
Even after retiring, Samir Handanović remains closely connected to Inter. This season, he serves as a club scout, and in the summer, the black-and-blue are expected to find him a role within their coaching structure in the youth system.
