Marco Rose's successor at BVB has been decided: After just one season, Edin Terzic is returning to the Borussia Dortmund coaching ranks and will continue to drive the upheaval in the team.
The dream of many BVB fans has come true: After just one year, original Borussia player Edin Terzic is returning to the coaching post as Marco Rose's successor and has been given a contract until 2025 of the entire club,” explained the 39-year-old.
BVB entrusts Terzic with the major upheaval in his team and the hunt for Bayern Munich. He had led Dortmund to the DFB Cup victory in 2021 before Rose took office. “By now, many people should be aware of the special importance that BVB has in my life.”
Terzin obligation a logical consequence after Rose's separation
The decision for Terzic was no longer a surprise. Shortly after the separation from Rose, it was leaked that the previous technical director should return as head coach. He is the logical successor to Rose. “We held several intensive talks with Edin Terzic last weekend and are convinced that this personnel decision is the right one for BVB,” said Dortmund's designated sports director Sebastian Kehl. “The 2022/23 season is characterized by a new sporting start. We will drive this forward together with great joy and passion.”
Star striker Erlind Haaland is leaving BVB for Manchester City
The new beginning includes serious changes in the squad. Super striker Erling Haaland is moving to Manchester City. In the three German national players Niklas Süle (FC Bayern Munich), Nico Schlotterbeck (SC Freiburg) and Karim Adeyemi (RB Salzburg) as well as the Turkish national player Salih Özcan (1. FC Köln), BVB has already signed four exciting and highly talented newcomers.< /p>
Fan favorite Terzic
Terzic had already taken over Dortmund in December 2020 as an interim solution after Lucien Favre was on leave, stabilized after a mixed start and led to the cup victory. Even then he was sure of the affection of the large BVB attachment. But the bosses around managing director Hans-Joachim Watzke had already committed the then Gladbach coach Rose to the new season. A momentous decision – for many involved.

BVB favorite Terzic was kept at the club for security and promoted to the newly created position of technical director. According to some observers, this undermined Rose's authority from the start. That led Dortmund to the vice-championship, but the hoped-for Bundesliga attack on series champions FC Bayern Munich failed thoroughly. With a lead of eight points, coach Julian Nagelsmann's team easily became German champions for the tenth time in a row.
Mixed BVB season
In the cup competitions, Dortmund also gave a very poor picture away. In the DFB Cup, the defending champions failed in the round of 16 at second division club FC St. Pauli. In the Champions League, the end came in a quite feasible group in the preliminary round.
Since the departure of cult coach Jürgen Klopp in the summer of 2015, BVB has been looking for a long-term solution in the coaching bench. Since then, six different managers have tried their hand at the sidelines. Whether Thomas Tuchel, Peter Bosz, Peter Stöger, Favre, Terzic in his first term or now Rose: none of them really stayed long. With the Terzic comeback, consistency should finally be here.
