Edin Terzić (pronounced as /êdiːn těrziːtɕ/; born 30 October 1982) is a German-Croatian[1] [2] professional football coach and former player, who was most recently the head coach of German Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund.[3]

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

Terzić was born on 30 October 1982 in Menden, West Germany, to a working-class family that immigrated from Yugoslavia.[4] His Bosniak father hails from Doganovci, Bosnia and Herzegovina and his Croat mother hails from Osijek, Croatia[5] [6] and he holds Croatian citizenship.[7] [8] 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.[9]

Terzić is an alumnus of Ruhr University Bochum where he studied Sports Science. He played at the fourth level of leagues in Germany during his playing career. With SC Westfalia Herne, he won the Westphalia Cup in 2006, scoring twice in a 6–4 final win over Delbrücker SC.[10]

Coaching career

Early career

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.[11] [12]

Terzić was an assistant coach of Slaven Bilić at Beşiktaş between 2013 and 2015 and at West Ham United from 2015 to 2017.[13] 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.[14] Satisfied with the analysis, Bilić invited him to join him as assistant coach at Lokomotiv Moscow, however, the deal eventually fell through.[14] Bilić once again offered Terzić the position at Beşiktaş and Terzić accepted the offer after consulting with Borussia Dortmund.[14] He followed him to West Ham United in 2015, but left the club two years later when Bilić was sacked on 6 November 2017.[15]

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.[16]

Return to Dortmund

Terzić returned to Borussia Dortmund in 2018 as an assistant coach of the first team after the appointment of Lucien Favre as coach.[17] 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.[18] 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.[19] On 13 May 2021, Terzić won the 2020–21 DFB-Pokal with a 4–1 victory over RB Leipzig.[20] He was succeeded on a permanent basis by Borussia Mönchengladbach manager Marco Rose.[21]

Instead of returning to his position as assistant manager for the 2021–22 season, Terzić moved to the newly created position as technical director.[22] 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.[23] 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.[24]

In 2023–24, Terzić led Borussia Dortmund to 5th place, earning direct qualification for the Champions League.[25] 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.[26] [27] In the final, his club lost 2–0 against Real Madrid.[28] He left Borussia Dortmund by his own request on 13 June 2024.[29]
