Dortmund confirm surprise departure of head coach Edin Terzic

Borussia Dortmund have confirmed that head coach Edin Terzic will leave the club with immediate effect. 

According to a club statement, Terzic asked Dortmund to terminate his contract, and the club have agreed to his request. 

“It is incredibly painful for me to say this to all Black & Yellow fans, but today I am parting company with Borussia Dortmund, ” stated Terzic, who guided Dortmund to the Champions League final and a fifth-place finish in the Bundesliga in the 2023/24 season. 

"It was a huge honour to win the DFB Cup with BVB and to lead this fantastic club to the Champions League final. fter the game at Wembley, I asked for a meeting with the club’s senior management team, because after ten years at BVB – including five on the coaching staff and two and a half as head coach – I feel that the club’s new era should begin with a new man on the touchline. 

"Everyone close to me knows that this has been a very difficult decision for me to take over the last few weeks, but after intensive discussions my fundamental feeling has not changed. I wish Borussia Dortmund the very best, and this isn’t goodbye – it’s seen you soon. Heja BVB!” 

Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke commented:

“Edin Terzic has done an outstanding job in his time at BVB, and we all owe him a huge debt of gratitude. Edin and I will always remain friends.”
