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 potential successor to Adi Hütter at AS Monaco.

Hütter, who has been coaching the Monegasques since the summer of 2023, is reportedly on the brink of leaving. Although he led the team to the Champions League twice and is currently in fifth place in Ligue 1—just three points behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain—recent weaker results have raised concerns. Monaco went winless in three league games, including a significant 1-4 defeat in the Champions League against FC Brugge. The recent 2-2 draw in the derby against OGC Nice also failed to dispel doubts. "We are not 100 percent satisfied," Hütter admitted after the game.

Ex-BVB Coach Terzic Could Succeed Adi Hütter in Monaco

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

The 42-year-old has been without a club since his departure from 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 winning the championship. Since September 2025, Terzic has been working as an RTL expert but 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 was considered by several clubs, including Fenerbahce, Bayer Leverkusen, and Borussia Mönchengladbach. Now, a fitting opportunity could arise in the principality—and Terzic would be the next German-speaking coach at AS Monaco, following Niko Kovac and Adi Hütter.
