I'll take this one, will post review as soon as possible. Kosack (talk) 09:44, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Lead

 * Do we need the Bosnian IPA?
 * "During the 2010–11 Serie A season he saved a total of six penalty kicks, equalling an all-time league record set in the 1948–49 season", this seems an odd thing to list in only the second sentence. Possibly could be included further down in the lead.
 * There is no real summary of his club career here, it needs at least one paragraph detailing major achievements in his club career and where he's played etc.
 * "played for them at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.", no need for the ref after this, it's adequately sourced within the article.
 * "He has gone on to earn 81 caps for his country", as he's now retired, this should be changed to past tense.
 * "Regarded as one of the best goalkeepers of his generation", this statements needs better sourcing. It currently has an 8th place finish in a annual award and the Daily Mail which, per WP:DAILYMAIL, is not considered a reliable source.

Early career

 * Only a single sentence for his time in Slovenia, with no mention of the loan spell at Zagorje,  could do with expanding on this area further.
 * His transfer fee to Udinese is mentioned in the ref provided, I'd include that.
 * Ref 8 takes me to a newsfeed rather than any specific page so it doesn't support the two sentences it's used with here.
 * Second paragraph is a bit muddled, starts with him joining Treviso, then Lazio, then his sending off for Treviso and then back to his appearances for Lazio. The sentence below about his single Lazio appearance could be incorporated into this paragraph also.
 * Last sentence of the second paragraph is unsourced.
 * "Thanks also to his saves, Rimini remained undefeated in both championship games played against Juventus. The club finished fifth in the Serie B and conceded the fourth least number of goals in the league.", source?
 * "In June 2017, despite Rimini excised the option, Udinese also excised the option by paying Rimini €250,00 in net.", this sentence doesn't make sense.

Return to Udinese

 * The first part of this sentence is just repeating the last section above isn't it?
 * Could do with expanding perhaps, there's a big jump from 2007 to 2009.

2009–10 season

 * "which were priceless for Udinese", personal opinion that is not supported by the ref.

2010–11 season

 * Do we know who's penalty saves record he equalled?

Internazionale

 * The first sentence here is very long. Could do with breaking up more. Try to avoid using references mid sentence also.

2012–13 season

 * His transfer occured at the start of this season so that could be merged into this section.
 * Both legs of the Hadjuk tie are given the same date?
 * Second half of the second paragraph is unsourced.
 * "On 19 June 2013 Inter acquired Handanović outright, and sold Faraoni to Udinese for undisclosed fees", try to avoid leaving single sentences on their own. Could be worked into a paragraph somewhere.

2013–14 season

 * "in Mazzarri's first match in charge", explain who Mazzarri is and link to his article.
 * Last sentence of the third paragraph is unsourced.
 * "in Javier Zanetti's last competitive match at San Siro", is that relevant to Handanovic?

2014–15 season

 * Unlink Milan and Derby della Madonnina, per WP:OVERLINK. Both are linked in the previous section.

2015-16

 * "Handanović made perhaps his worst appearance", personal opinion not supported by the ref.
 * Unlink Atalanta and UEFA Europa League, linked previously in the article.
 * "by European media", that's a very broad term and needs to be narrowed down.

2017–18 season

 * Unlink Juventus and Lazio, both previously linked.
 * Last sentence is unsourced.

International career

 * Is there any potential expansion on his Slovakia youth levels? Even a brief mention of representation at various youth levels could be included.
 * "Handanović was a regular member of the team during the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign, being used mostly as a back-up for the veteran Borut Mavrič. ", source?
 * Last paragraph is largely unsourced.

Career statistics

 * No need for total rows on single season spells in a stats table.
