Surprise: New Bundesliga job for former BVB coach Terzic? | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund’s former coach Edin Terzic is coming into focus at Eintracht Frankfurt as a possible successor to Dino Toppmöller.

Dino Toppmöller’s position at Eintracht Frankfurt has become unstable. Although the Hessians remain in the upper third of the Bundesliga table and are fighting for international spots, their recent sporting performance has become increasingly fragile. Fluctuating performances, several clear defeats, and especially defensive vulnerabilities have raised doubts as to whether expectations and reality still align.

After qualifying for the Champions League last season, expectations around Eintracht noticeably increased. However, Frankfurt has so far failed to meet these self-imposed standards in the current campaign. The early exit from the DFB-Pokal and the poor standing in the Champions League, where SGE is currently found only in the lower ranks, have further intensified the pressure on the head coach.

Against this backdrop, the club’s management has apparently already responded. According to information from fussballtransfers.com, talks have been held behind the scenes with potential successor candidates.

Frankfurt’s Coaching Question: Talks with Ex-BVB Coach Terzic

According to the report, one of the coaches contacted is said to be Edin Terzic. The former BVB coach, who resigned from his position at Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2024, is considered one of several prominent names on Frankfurt’s list. Whether Terzic can imagine taking on the role at Eintracht is currently unclear. What is clear, however, is that there is not yet a clear favorite. Rather, SGE is apparently surveying the market in order to be prepared if the need arises.

A decision regarding Toppmöller’s future is expected in the coming days. The winter break is traditionally often used for fundamental changes, and the most recent result is also likely to have an impact. Frankfurt went into the break with a 1-1 draw at Hamburger SV.

Notably: On January 9, Eintracht will face Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga immediately after the restart—of all teams, against Terzic’s former club. Should there be a coaching change, the new coach would at least have a short preparation period to implement initial ideas.
