DORTMUND — Former Borussia Dortmund boss Edin Terzic will take charge of Athletic Bilbao next season, the club announced on Tuesday, following the departure of Ernesto Valverde this summer. Terzic will arrive on a two-year deal to replace Valverde, who said in March he would step down from his role at the end of the season, AFP reported. The 43-year-old Terzic has been without a club since leaving Dortmund at the end of the 2023-24 campaign, which ended with a 2-0 loss to Real Madrid in the Champions League final. Terzic won the German Cup in 2021 in his first spell at Dortmund. He returned for a second stint as coach a year later, narrowly missing out on the Bundesliga title on the final day of the 2022-23 season. He was also a former assistant to Slaven Bilic at West Ham and Besiktas. The departing Valverde, who has had three tenures as Bilbao coach, ended their 40-year trophy drought when his side won the Copa del Rey in 2024. Bilbao are currently eighth in La Liga and three points off the European places with four games left. The post Terzic lined up as Athletic boss appeared first on Egyptian Gazette.
