Samir Handanovic

[Ronaldo]

Happy for you! Finally! I was rooting gor you instead of Icardi from the beginning.

Well, better late than never!

 

[Bluenine]

Il Capitano! Fully deserved, should have happened years ago.

 

[wera]

Should have been him for years now. Happy for him.

 

[Ziyad]

Skriniar should be vice.

 

[Luka]

Congrats Samir, well deserved. Remember that being a captain is more of a job outside of the matches, not during the matches, although I agree I would prefer to have a captain that is more "involved" during matches, like a midfielder (ideally).

However, there were many great GK captains, and that proves that being a captain is so much more than just being involved in every part of the pitch during matches.

Skriniar should be vice.

Deffinetly! I don't want to see Icardi anywhere near the armband again, and Skriniar deffinetly deserves it for the love he showed to the club and always saying he wants to stay at Inter despite all the interest in him.

Happy for you! Finally! I was rooting gor you instead of Icardi from the beginning.

Well, better late than never!

Totally agree, was expecting this for a while! Congrats!

Batmanovic has made 275 appearances for the Nerazzurri since arriving from Udinese in 2012.

Captain`s armbrand should not be a marketing gimmick, but the leader in the locker room. According to Italian standards, should be among the oldest one at the club, and it makes sense.

Il Capitanooooooo!!!

I saw a funny post recently:

Samir handanovic signs with Wanda as his new agent

 

[Sassuolu]

I can recall in an interview that Handa is considered one of the leaders in the locker room already, anyway he's been here long enough hopefully this will help him become better.

One good thing today - Handanovic got a clean sheet on his first game as the new Capitano :notbad:

Handanovic: 'Proud to be Inter captain'
By Football Italia staff

New Inter captain Samir Handanovic is “proud” with his role and thanked his teammates for the clean sheet against Rapid Vienna.

The Nerazzurri won 1-0 in Austria thanks to a Lautaro Martinez penalty, giving them a strong position going into the second leg of this Europa League Round of 32 at San Siro.

“I am above all happy with the result, as that is what really matters. If we keep a clean sheet, that’s good for everyone,” Handanovic told Inter TV.

That was also thanks to a splendid save on substitute Christoph Knasmullner.

“That’s what I’m there for. Obviously, I always hope that I don’t need to make many saves, but if I am needed, then I am there.

“I think winning 1-0 is a good result, as defence starts from the attack, so everyone puts in the work. It’s very important not to concede goals.”

Handanovic was inevitably asked how he felt at being the new captain, after the armband was stripped from Mauro Icardi.

“Every player is proud to be the captain of an important club, but we ought to be talking about Inter and not individuals.”

 

[firmino]

A captain I can be proud of. :epicwin:

 

[IM21]

even if Handa doesn't talk much people knew he was the leader of the team. Remember what De Boer said not long ago: ''The biggest leader on the team is the goalkeeper, Samir Handanovic''.

happy for him and he should have been the captain for like 3 years now.

Who was our last keeper / captain? Pagliuca?

 

[Nero Indigo]

Pagliuca was the fucking man! Loved that keeper.

 

[Sassuolu]

Who was our last keeper / captain? Pagliuca?

Bergomi was captain while Pagliuca played for us but it is possible that he was a vice captain, not sure.

- - - Updated - - -

The captaincy hasn't changed too much though we had:

Bergomi, Ronaldo (for a short while), Zanetti, Ranocchia, Icardi and Handa.

 

[Campione]

How could you forget a certain guy called Nagatomo?!

If I remember correctly he was a captain in one "Derby di Milano"?

 

[Sassuolu]

Not talking about captains when the actual captain is subbed off.

 

[Bluenine]

Maybe now he will dive more :work:
