Faris Handžić (born 27 May 1995) is a Bosnian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Serbian club Novi Pazar.
Club career
[edit]As a youth player, Handžić trialed for the youth academies of Spanish La Liga side Espanyol and one of Italy's most successful clubs, Inter Milan.[1] At the age of 16, he debuted for Bosnian Premier League club Sarajevo, one of the country's most successful teams, where he won the 2013–14 Bosnian Cup.[2]
Before the second half of the 2014–15 season, Handžić signed with Westerlo in the Belgian top flight, where he made 3 league appearances.[3] Before the second half of the 2015–16 season, he joined Slovak Second Division outfit Dukla Banská Bystrica. Before the second half of the 2016–17 season, Handžić signed with First League of FBiH club Velež Mostar.[4]
In August 2019, he joined also First League of FBiH side Olimpik after playing for Vinogradar in the 3. HNL.[3] On 26 May 2020, the 2019–20 First League of FBiH season ended abruptly due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Bosnia and Herzegovina and, by default, Handžić with Olimpik were crowned league champions and got promoted back to the Bosnian Premier League.[5]
