Edin Terzic has been appointed as the new head coach of Athletic Bilbao. The German-Bosnian tactician has signed a contract with the Spanish La Liga side until June 30, 2028. He replaces Ernesto Valverde, who will leave the Basque club after the season.

The 43-year-old Terzic had been without a club since the end of the 2023/2024 season, following his departure from Borussia Dortmund.

He also served as an assistant to Slaven Bilic at West Ham and Besiktas.
