After BVB exit: Is Terzic set for a Bundesliga return? | OneFootball

Former Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic could soon return to the Bundesliga. He is considered a strong candidate for the coaching position at the struggling VfL Wolfsburg.

Edin Terzic might soon return to the coaching bench in the Bundesliga. The former Borussia Dortmund coach, who has been without a club since his departure in the summer of 2024, is currently being considered at VfL Wolfsburg as a potential successor to Paul Simonis.

The pressure on the Dutch coach is increasing: After the cup exit against Holstein Kiel and a disappointing record in the Bundesliga, Simonis faces an early dismissal. According to consistent media reports from the Wolfsburger Allgemeine Zeitung and the Aller-Zeitung, if the upcoming game against TSG Hoffenheim (Sunday, 5:30 PM) is lost, his dismissal is considered likely.

Simonis only took over VfL in the summer but has not met expectations so far. In the league, Wolfsburg has won only two of its eight games, while four matches have been lost. Currently, the team from Lower Saxony is positioned only in the lower mid-table – not enough for the club's ambitious goals.

Reunion between former BVB coach Terzic and Mislintat in Wolfsburg?

In case of a separation, VfL is already preparing alternatives. Besides Bruno Labbadia, who coached the Wolves between 2018 and 2019, Terzic is now also on the list of those in charge. The 43-year-old has reportedly turned down several offers since leaving BVB, including apparently from Juventus Turin, AS Monaco, Real Sociedad, and FC Everton.

If Wolfsburg indeed makes a change in the coaching position, the new coach would take over only after the upcoming international break.

But changes might not only occur on the coaching bench: The seats in the management level are also shaky. According to information from the Wolfsburger Allgemeine Zeitung and the Aller-Zeitung, Managing Director of Sport Peter Christiansen and Sporting Director Sebastian Schindzielorz are under pressure following ongoing criticism. Potential successors include Sven Mislintat, Fabian Wohlgemuth, and former manager Jörg Schmadtke. Interestingly, Mislintat and Terzic know each other well from their time together at BVB.

Whether Edin Terzic is actually interested in the Wolfsburg project remains to be seen for now.
