New job for ex-BVB coach? Terzic a hot contender at top club | OneFootball

After his departure from Borussia Dortmund, Edin Terzic could soon be back on the sidelines. He is reportedly the favorite to succeed Adi Hütter at AS Monaco.

Edin Terzic could soon return to the coaching bench of a top European club. According to consistent reports from L’Équipe and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the former Borussia Dortmund coach is being considered as a possible successor to Adi Hütter at AS Monaco.

Hütter, who has been coaching the Monegasques since the summer of 2023, is reportedly facing dismissal. Although he led the team to the Champions League twice and is currently in fifth place in Ligue 1—only three points behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain—recent weaker results have raised concerns. Monaco went three league games without a win, and there was a significant 1-4 defeat in the Champions League against FC Brugge. The recent 2-2 draw in the derby against OGC Nice apparently did not dispel the doubts. "We are not 100 percent satisfied," Hütter admitted after the game.

According to L’Équipe, the club's management, including President Dmitry Rybolovlev, General Director Thiago Scuro, and Sporting Director Carlos Ibarrola, is already actively seeking alternatives. Internally, Terzic reportedly enjoys significant support. The French paper writes that the plan with the former Dortmund coach is "well advanced."

The 42-year-old has been without a club since leaving BVB in the summer of 2024. In Dortmund, he led the team to the Champions League final in the 2023/24 season and narrowly missed the championship. Since September 2025, Terzic has been working as an RTL expert, but he recently emphasized his willingness to return to the sidelines. "If it fits, it can start immediately," he told the Süddeutsche Zeitung. His previous rejections of other clubs were "a very conscious no. Or rather: a yes to family and time for further development."

In the past, the former BVB coach had been linked with several clubs, including Fenerbahce, Bayer Leverkusen, and Borussia Mönchengladbach. Now, the right opportunity might arise in the principality—and Terzic would be the next German-speaking coach at AS Monaco after Niko Kovac and Adi Hütter.
