Borussia Dortmund has officially announced the departure of manager Edin Terzic after he requested to terminate his contract immediately. This decision comes after Dortmund reached the Champions League final in the 2023-24 season but unfortunately lost to Real Madrid at Wembley.
Terzic, who has been with the club for nine years, expressed that he believes a new era for the club should begin with a new manager. Despite the difficulty of this decision, he felt it was the right time to step down. He thanked the club and expressed his well wishes for the future.
Terzic started his coaching career with Dortmund’s academy and has had various roles within the club, including as an assistant coach and technical director. He took over as the interim boss in 2020 and led the team to German Cup final success. In 2022, he was appointed as the manager of the club.
Under Terzic’s management, Dortmund finished as runners-up in the Bundesliga last season and secured a fifth-place finish in the 2023-24 campaign, ensuring qualification for the next season’s Champions League. The club’s chief executive, Hans-Joachim Watzke, praised Terzic for his outstanding contribution and stated that they will always remain friends.
Terzic’s departure marks the end of an era for Borussia Dortmund, and the search for a new manager will begin soon. The club will be looking for someone who can lead them to further success in the upcoming seasons while building on the foundation laid by Terzic.
As Dortmund fans bid farewell to Edin Terzic, they will be eagerly anticipating the next chapter for their beloved club. The legacy of Terzic will not be forgotten, and his contributions will always be appreciated by the club and its supporters.
