Inter star announces international retirement

 

Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanovic has announced his international retirement after Slovenia failed to make the 2016 European Championships.

 

Slovenia were knocked out by Ukraine after only managing a 1-1 draw in the return leg of their play-off match and Handanovic drew close on his international career exactly 11 years to the day of his debut.

 

The 31-year-old, who has reportedly agreed to extend his contract with Inter, finishes as the third highest capped player in Slovenia’s history (79 caps).

The veteran shot-stopper has built a reputation for his penalty saving heroics and has saved at least two more penalties than any other goalkeeper over the last four years in Serie A (7), furthering his statistically calculated strength of ‘penalty saving’.
