Samir Handanovic, coach? Big dreams there mate. Let’s focus on your current goalkeeping skills first.
Bro doesn’t even bother to get down to save shots nowadays i don’t think he has that drive.
The Handanovic disrespect is crazy. Yes he was bad last few years, but he was a fantastic keeper for many years
Goldfish memory for real. Handanović was one of the best goalkeepers in Serie A in 21st century. He won multiple awards for best goalkeeper of the season, he was legit on top of his game for like 15 years since late 2000s. I believe he also holds the record for penalties saved in a season. He managed to get Udinese to European cups before moving to Inter where he was contesting for goalkeeper of the year every season for like a decade. His persistence paid off and the team under his captaincy won Inter’s first Scudetto after a decade. But people will remember him not saving some unreal shots at the age of 38 or something lmao.
Even performance and accolades aside, he is great for such a role on terms of personality. Even before he was Inter’s captain, he always had the respect of the locker room, basically everyone that was ever interviewed praised him, there was never any drama with him, he loyal to a fault where he easily could’ve made more money or won more trophies, etc. A true “old school, no BS” type of player.
Same shit happened to Oblak and Lloris, makes me sad
What happened to Oblak? He’s still young
And De Gea
He’s the most disrespected keeper of the last decade imo. Dude was genuenly a top 5 keeper in the world for years but he played for probably the worst Inter team in decades so people don’t realise.
When?
Former GKs turned successful coaches are kinda rare? I can think of Lopetegui and Zoff on the top of my mind.
Nuno Espírito Santo was a goalkeeper
successful
I think that’s the case mainly because there are really few goalkeepers. Ten time fewer than on field players.
