Borussia Dortmund has announced the departure of head coach Edin Terzic, who has officially requested to terminate his contract with the club. Terzic, who is 41 years old, had been in charge of Dortmund for two-and-a-half seasons and led the team to the Champions League final in 2023-24, where they were defeated by Real Madrid at Wembley. Despite missing out on the Bundesliga title by a whisker in the previous season, Dortmund struggled to replicate that success this time around and finished fifth in the league.
In a statement, Terzic expressed his gratitude for having had the opportunity to lead Dortmund to a DFB-Pokal victory and a Champions League final. However, after spending 10 years with the club, including five years as part of the coaching team and two and a half years as head coach, he felt it was time for a new person to take charge for the upcoming restart. The club has agreed to Terzic’s request to step down as manager, marking an end to his tenure with Dortmund.
Despite being disappointed about leaving his beloved club after so long, Terzic acknowledged that there is always a need for fresh perspectives in leadership roles. As he bids farewell to Dortmund, Terzic leaves behind a legacy that includes significant accomplishments and memorable moments during his time as head coach.
