Athletic Bilbao's new head coach, Edin Terzic, has announced his coaching staff for the Basque club, as confirmed by the team. The lineup includes his right-hand man from Borussia Dortmund, Sebastian Geppert, who will serve as assistant and analyst, alongside Bulgarian Petar Gaidarov, who previously worked with Bayern Munich's youth teams until this summer.
According to Athletic's official statement, the 35-year-old Bulgarian specialist will also function as an assistant, overseeing training processes and player transitions. He joins from Bayern Munich, where he coached the U19 team this season, including their UEFA Youth League campaign. This experience builds on his earlier work within the Nuremberg academy.
Gaidarov brings six years of experience from Bayern, where he also led the Bavarian giants' U19 team in the UEFA Youth League. His resume also includes stints with Nuremberg's youth squads and more modest German clubs such as Ingolstadt, Manching, Mindelstetten, Eigelsbach, and Landshut. Gaidarov was previously rumored to be a candidate for a coaching role at Karlsruher SC, but ultimately, the Bulgarian opted for Athletic Bilbao.
Terzic's staff will also feature club legend Oscar De Marcos, who holds the second-highest number of appearances in the club's history with 573 matches, surpassed only by Jose Angel Iribar. The former Basque captain will be responsible for the individual and collective development of the players.
