Edin Terzic’s secret amulet and first Athletic win in Vigo | OneFootball

Edin Terzic claimed his first victory as Athletic head coach in Vigo on Sunday, with his touchline habits drawing attention.

By 20 minutes, Athletic were on course after goals from Berenguer and Robert Navarro, their high press winning the ball high up the pitch. According to El día después, a later broadcast would highlight an unusual ritual linked to the German coach.

Cameras caught Terzic animated in the technical area, gesturing at decisions, appealing for a penalty, issuing constant instructions and jotting notes, everything done with precision.

The programme later revealed he keeps a coin as a secret amulet and spent much of the match holding it in his hands.

Terzic’s early matches have also brought lighter moments, with Jauregizar and Canales pictured taking in last guidance before entering the pitch, their expressions telling their own story. Television presenters joked about the change after 23 years working with Spanish-speaking coaches.
