Sports director Sebastian Kehl sees Edin Terzic facing a special challenge before his first season as head coach at Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund.
“Now he will be challenged in a new role: For the first time he is the head coach from the first day of preparation and has the reins in his hand,” said the former international to the “kicker” (Monday). The club management does not want to leave the 39-year-old alone. “We will support him as much as possible,” promised Kehl.
Terzic had already looked after the championship runners-up as an interim coach in the 2020/2021 season after the separation from Lucien Favre and led the club to victory in the DFB Cup and the Champions League. Now is the successor to Marco Rose, who had to go despite second place and Champions League qualification. “Edin brings high quality, both professionally and personally,” said sports director Kehl.
Authentic trainer
The fact that Terzic grew up just 30 kilometers from Signal Iduna Park is also not insignificant, Kehl continued: “He has a huge identification with the city, the region and the people.” The coach is authentic: “People believe in his connection with BVB.”
BVB advisor Matthias Sammer rates Terzic’s immediate availability as a positive factor in the decision: “Of course it played a role that we already had someone in the club who had a lot of what we wanted,” he said.
