Athletic Bilbao appoints former Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzić as its new manager, multiple outlets report. Terzić is said to have signed a contract running until 2028. He replaces Ernesto Valverde, who previously led the Basque club. The move comes while Athletic Bilbao sit eighth in Spain’s LaLiga standings, according to reports.
The appointment is part of the club’s effort to change direction after Valverde’s departure. Terzić most recently managed Borussia Dortmund, and his prior experience in top-flight European football is highlighted in coverage of the decision.
While details of the exact start date and day-to-day staffing arrangements are not included in the excerpts, the agreed term until 2028 indicates the club is planning for a longer project rather than a short-term appointment. The transition places Terzić in charge of a squad aiming to improve league performance and results following Valverde’s tenure.
