Edin Terzic Poised to Become Athletic Bilbao Coach, Reports Say

The club intends to delay confirmation to protect team stability during the run-in.

Overview

  • Multiple Basque and Spanish outlets report that Edin Terzic is set to take over at Athletic Club, though the club has not confirmed the hire.
  • Club leaders plan to hold any announcement to avoid unsettling the squad as Athletic sit ninth with six league games left and trail a European place by three points.
  • Transfer reporter Matteo Moretto says Terzic’s contract signing is imminent.
  • Terzic would succeed Ernesto Valverde, a club great who is expected to depart when his contract expires this summer.
  • Terzic, who won the 2021 German Cup with Borussia Dortmund and reached the 2024 Champions League final, would inherit Athletic’s Basque-only recruitment policy that narrows transfer options.
