Borussia Dortmund name Terzic as new coach

Edin Terzic returned as coach of Borussia Dortmund on Monday, a year after leaving the same job.

He will sign a deal until 2025, Borussia Dortmund said in a statement on Monday.

Terzic was installed as interim coach at Borussia Dortmund in December 2020.

But by the time he had achieved a UEFA Champions League place and a German Cup triumph that season, Borussia Dortmund had already agreed to recruit Borussia Mönchengladbach’s Marco Rose.

Terzic then moved upstairs to become technical director.

Fast forward a year and Rose has been let go after an underwhelming campaign and Terzic was the obvious and cheap choice for the Bundesliga runners-up.

The 39-year-old German-Croatian takes on a side who are losing Erling Haaland to Manchester City but have already recruited Germany trio Niklas Süle, Nico Schlotterbeck and Karim Adeyemi.

Cologne’s Salih Özcan is also arriving.
