Edin Terzić (pronounced [êdiːn těrziːtɕ]; born 30 October 1982) is a German-Croatian professional football coach and former player, who was most recently the head coach of Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund.[2]

After a playing career as a forward in the lower leagues of German football, Terzić worked as a scout and youth assistant coach at Borussia Dortmund. Following spells as an assistant to Slaven Bilić, he obtained a UEFA Pro Licence in 2018. He returned to Dortmund as head coach in 2020, winning the DFB-Pokal in 2021 and reaching the UEFA Champions League final in 2024.

Early years and personal life

[edit]

Terzić was born on 30 October 1982 in Menden, West Germany, to a working-class family that immigrated from Yugoslavia.[3] His Bosniak father hails from Doganovci, Bosnia and Herzegovina and his Croat mother hails from Osijek, Croatia[4][5] and he holds Croatian citizenship.[6][7] His older brother Alen also works as a scout for Borussia Dortmund and served as caretaker manager of Borussia Dortmund II during the 2019–20 Regionalliga West season.[8]

Terzić is an alumnus of Ruhr University Bochum where he studied Sports Science.[3] He played at the fourth level of leagues in Germany during his playing career.[3] With SC Westfalia Herne, he won the Westphalia Cup in 2006, scoring twice in a 6–4 final win over Delbrücker SC.[9]

Coaching career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Between 2010 and 2013, Terzić worked as a scout and assistant coach in the youth academy of Borussia Dortmund, reporting to first team manager Jürgen Klopp.[10][11]

Terzić was an assistant coach of Slaven Bilić at Beşiktaş between 2013 and 2015 and at West Ham United from 2015 to 2017.[12] His collaboration with Bilić started in 2012, when Terzić drafted and delivered a pre-game opponent analysis for Croatia's group stage match against the Republic of Ireland at Euro 2012.[3] Satisfied with the analysis, Bilić invited him to join him as assistant coach at Lokomotiv Moscow, however, the deal eventually fell through.[3] Bilić once again offered Terzić the position at Beşiktaş and Terzić accepted the offer after consulting with Borussia Dortmund.[3] He followed him to West Ham United in 2015, but left the club two years later when Bilić was sacked on 6 November 2017.[13]

Since 2018, Terzić has held UEFA Pro Licence qualification, after graduating from an 18-month long course of The Football Association in England. Fellow graduates included former Chelsea manager Graham Potter as well as former professional players Nicky Butt and Nemanja Vidić.[14]

Return to Dortmund

[edit]

Terzić returned to Borussia Dortmund in 2018 as an assistant coach of the first team after the appointment of Lucien Favre as coach.[15] He took charge of the team along with his colleague Manfred Stefes for the 2018–19 encounter against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, as head coach Favre missed the match due to illness.[10][16] After Favre was sacked following a 5–1 loss against VfB Stuttgart in December 2020, Terzić was appointed interim manager until the end of the 2020–21 season.[17] On 13 May 2021, Terzić won the 2020–21 DFB-Pokal with a 4–1 victory over RB Leipzig.[18] He was succeeded on a permanent basis by Borussia Mönchengladbach manager Marco Rose.[19]

Instead of returning to his position as assistant manager for the 2021–22 season, Terzić moved to the newly created position as technical director.[20] After Rose left by mutual consent at the end of the season, Terzić was reappointed manager on a permanent basis, signing a contract until 2025.[21] In the 2022–23 Bundesliga, the team lost out on the league title on goal difference to Bayern Munich on the final day, following a shock 2–2 draw at home to Mainz 05.[22]

In 2023–24, Terzić led Borussia Dortmund to 5th place, earning direct qualification for the Champions League.[23] He also led the team to the Champions League final in the same season, beating Paris Saint-Germain 2–0 on aggregate in the semi-final.[24][25] In the final, his club lost 2–0 against Real Madrid.[26] He left Borussia Dortmund by his own request on 13 June 2024.[2]
