Top clubs eye Edin Terzic: this is how the ex-BVB coach responded | OneFootball

When will we see Edin Terzic back on the sidelines? Since his departure from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of last year, the football coach has kept away from the dugout. The 42-year-old is said to have turned down three offers from renowned clubs.

So far, the native of Sauerland has only served as head coach at BVB. With the Black and Yellows, Terzic won the DFB-Pokal in 2021 and reached the Champions League final in 2024. Unforgettable remains the last matchday of the 2022/23 season, when the Westphalians let the seemingly certain championship trophy slip from their hands with a 2-2 draw against Mainz 05. From time to time, Terzic appears on television, analyzing matches as an expert for Amazon Prime or RTL.

He gained international experience as an assistant to Slaven Bilic (57). Under the former Karlsruher SC professional, he worked at Besiktas Istanbul (2013-2015) and West Ham United (2015-2017).

According to Sky, a Premier League club is said to have contacted Terzic at the beginning of this year. Everton FC was looking for a successor to Sean Dyche (54) in January 2025. After a 1-0 defeat in Bournemouth, the Toffees were languishing in 16th place in the table. Out of 19 league matches, they had won only three. But the former BVB coach politely declined. Instead, David Moyes, who had successfully managed Everton between 2002 and 2013, returned.

Terzic a topic at Juve?

Terzic is also said to have received further offers from AS Monaco and Real Sociedad San Sebastián. At the Monegasque club, he was supposed to replace his former Bundesliga colleague Adi Hütter (55), who previously managed Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Mönchengladbach. The Austrian had lost his job at the beginning of October. The former Dortmund coach declined. Instead, Sébastien Pocognoli (38) from Union Saint-Gilloise took over.

The offer from the Basque Country apparently did not convince Terzic either. San Sebastián had an unexpectedly poor start to the season and, after nine rounds, found themselves in a relegation spot. The coaching position of Sergio Francisco (46), who has only been in charge for a few months, is looking shaky. But in this case too, the 42-year-old from Sauerland said no.

Currently, Terzic is said to be, along with fellow former Dortmund coach Marco Rose (49), in talks with Juventus Turin.
