Edin Terzic will be the coach of Athletic Bilbao next season
The German Edin Terzic will be the coach of Athletic Bilbao from next season, the Basque Liga club announced on Tuesday, with which he has signed until 2028. The 43-year-old technician will replace at the end of the season the Spaniard Ernesto Valverde, in post since 2022 and winner of the Spanish Cup in 2024 with Athletic Bilbao.
Approached by AS Monaco before the arrival of Sébastien Pocognoli last October, Terzic had been free from any contract since his departure from Borussia Dortmund in June 2024, after leading the German club to the final of the Champions League (2-0 defeat against Real Madrid).
Previously, he had held assistant positions with Slaven Bilic (Besiktas, West Ham) and Lucien Favre in Dortmund, before taking over on an interim basis after the Swiss’ dismissal in December 2020 and winning the German Cup in his first season.
Terzic will be the second German to coach the Basque club after Jupp Heynckes (1992-1994 and 2001-2003). Eighth in La Liga four days before the end of the championship, Athletic Bilbao is still in the running to qualify for the Europa League or the Conference League.
