The ‘Nerazzurri’ sporting director Piero Ausilio confirmed that Handanovic will return to the club but the former ‘Captain’ now needs to find a suitable role.
Yesterday, Piero Ausilio confirmed Samir Handanovic‘s return, but he didn’t provide specific details about his new role with the club.
So, what will the future hold for the former goalkeeper, who retired a few months ago, at Inter? As reported by TMW, it’s likely that he won’t just be another figure with the team, especially considering the time aspect he spent with the club.
Samir might serve as an advisor to the club, with two specific projects to promote: first, to act as a mentor for all the young goalkeepers in the youth teams, and second, to potentially hold a scouting license, especially in Eastern countries.
So, his role isn’t fully defined yet. During the first year, he will likely have time to learn the ropes of management, with a more definitive position to be found from the following summer. In essence, it’s a two-year plan that may evolve as time goes on, as in Zhang’s words, “He’s my captain,” during the farewell moment, indicating a relationship that goes beyond just the professional aspect.
