💣Bombshell: Terzic close to joining Athletic | OneFootball

The San Mamés bench is preparing for a new era. According to Sky Sport, Edin Terzic has emerged as the main candidate to become the new coach of Athletic Club de Bilbao. This news comes after the recent announcement by Ernesto Valverde, who confirmed that he will leave the club at the end of the current season in the summer.

Advanced negotiations in Lezama

Talks with the former Borussia Dortmund coach are reportedly very advanced, with his profile being the preferred choice of the current board to lead the new sporting project. Terzic, known for his intense style and his ability to manage elite locker rooms, fits well with the competitive philosophy sought by the Basque club.

The electoral factor

However, the arrival of the German coach is not without political nuances. With the electoral campaign about to begin in Bilbao, Terzic’s appointment is subject to the continuity of the current project. The outcome of the elections will be key to confirming whether the 43-year-old strategist will finally take the reins of the "Lions".
