Is Samir Handanovic going to join Zahovic in the People's Garden?

Former Slovenian national team goalkeeper Samir Handanović has left AC Milan after 14 years, ending his time at the club where he last led the under-17 squad. According to Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, Handanović, who has lived in Italy since his transfer from Domžale, is considering returning to Slovenia in search of new challenges and wants to test himself in a more demanding role. There is speculation that he might join Maribor, as the club's new coach, Darko Milanič, has recently taken charge. However, it remains unclear what specific role Handanović would play at Maribor. His older cousin, Jasmin, already works at the club as a trainer for goalkeepers, leaving open the possibility that Handanović could join the coaching staff. Another potential move is being considered, including a possible transfer to Ilirija from Ljubljana, which is a partner club of Maribor.
