Not just Terzic: Two former BVB managers on Tottenham’s shortlist | OneFootball

Two former Borussia Dortmund coaches are reportedly on the candidate list for Tottenham Hotspur. Alongside Edin Terzic, another ex-BVB coach is also being considered as a possible successor to Thomas Frank.

The search for a new head coach at Tottenham Hotspur is in full swing. After parting ways with Thomas Frank, the Spurs are scanning the market—and have apparently set their sights on two former Borussia Dortmund coaches. According to the English Telegraph, Marco Rose and Edin Terzic are among the candidates for the vacant position in North London.

According to reports, the club's decision-makers are already in initial talks with potential successors. Several names are circulating on an extended list. There is ongoing discussion in Tottenham about whether to appoint an interim coach until the end of the season or to immediately install a permanent solution. However, much points to the decision-makers preferring a long-term solution who can take over right away.

The sporting situation is tense: instead of competing for international places, Tottenham is stuck deep in the relegation zone of the Premier League. After only a few months in charge, Frank had to go, as the hoped-for turnaround failed to materialize.

Ex-BVB coaches Rose and Terzic on Tottenham's list

Rose coached Dortmund from summer 2021 to May 2022 and was most recently at RB Leipzig. His tenure there ended in the spring of last year, but his contract is reportedly still valid. In the event of an appointment, an agreement with Leipzig would likely be necessary.

Terzic, who left his position in Dortmund in the summer of 2024, is also considered a serious option. The 43-year-old also brings experience from England: he previously worked as an assistant coach at West Ham United. A job in the Premier League has reportedly been a declared career goal of his for some time.

In addition to Rose and Terzic, other prominent names are circulating. Roberto De Zerbi, most recently at Olympique Marseille, is also mentioned as a possible candidate. A return of Mauricio Pochettino is also being discussed—the Argentine is currently the national coach of the USA and would likely not be available before the World Cup in the summer. Former Spurs player Robbie Keane is also being considered.
