Club career

In July 2010 Handanović was signed by Empoli, replacing Davide Bassi as the new first choice. However, he was then replaced by Alberto Pelagotti. In 2011, he signed for Maribor.[1]

On 5 November 2014, in a UEFA Champions League group match against Chelsea, he saved an 85th-minute penalty from Eden Hazard to ensure a 1–1 draw.[2] On 1 November 2017, he saved a penalty in a 3–0 away defeat against Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League.[3]

On 21 June 2020, he became the oldest player to play in the Slovenian first division with the age of 42 years 4 months and 24 days.

International career

Handanović made his full international debut on 19 November 2008, in a 3–4 friendly defeat to Bosnia and Herzegovina in Maribor. On his next international cap on 28 March 2009, he kept a clean sheet in a goalless World Cup qualifier against the Czech Republic.[4] Handanović was one of three Slovene goalkeepers chosen to go to the 2010 FIFA World Cup, but did not feature in any matches. He played his final game for the national team in 2012 against Switzerland.
