“My future is linked with football. I’m starting as a scout at Inter, but my goal is to become a coach in a year, two, or three. Initially, I want to work with young players, to pass on my knowledge and experience. I want to give back to football, which has given me so much. My aim is to be a professional coach at a major club.”

According to him, if he gets his way, it seems like he’ll acclimatize to roles first with a short GK scouting tenure at Inter, perhaps try a coaching role with Inter (or other club) at youth level and then later on try coaching senior squads. Pretty classic path for coaches. Maybe instead of youth coaching he can also try out being assistant coach on senior level and then try to land a lead coach role in the future.

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.

Thank god we won the game in the end, because I can’t remember a game where I was on this level of frustration. This game should’ve been a 6-0 smashing easily. So many chances, 2x wondergoal longshots denied by the post, absolute domination… But the biggest frustration piece is the absolutely disgraceful game plan by Roma… Holy embarrassment, they were just waiting for the game to end from minute one. Didn’t even attempt to get out of their own half. If we dropped points to this… I’d rather lose by 10 goals to Frosinone. Disgraceful.

Poetic that Lukaku had an absolutely shit performance and we won by a goal scored by his replacement. Kiss that Lukaku, start prepping your next interview eh?

Such a shame for the slight offside, was a lovely team goal.

That was a greatly executed attack by Salzburg and poor defending from our side. Hopefully the team wakes up and sees this is not at all a free win.
