Club career
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.
